Her saying "I am still leaving".. is exactly the same thing she was hearing when you were as*ing up.
She has not quit yet.
Until she sends you to my house.. you don't quit either.

You mean when I was being an a**hole all those years, I may as well have been telling her I didn't love her and wanted out of the marriage?
That is what she thought, and has told me that in so many words at one time or another during the last 6 months.
I was not going to mention this, because it happened while were both a little buzzed, and I have been trying not to put us into that position as much....doing much better.
Sunday after the game we kept drinking margaritas and just got into one of those crazy nights we had not had in a while....G rated version is she could not keep her hands off me, but it was not just touching...lots of conversation and connecting.
At one point there was a tequila induced slip as I was kissing her and I told her I loved her. She did not return it, but she looked me straight in the eye and said "You really do love me, don't you? You really do love me."
I told her...yes, it's taken me way too long to figure out just how much and how to show you, but yes...I really do love you.
...end of conversation...that was 3 days ago, and no distance, no drama. She still has been calm and relaxed and talkative...maybe she doesn't remember or maybe it didn't sink in, but at least I didn't get reprimanded for saying it.
