I really feel for your situation. It has a lot of similarities to where my wife and I were at for the past several years. (Except I was too dense to really try and regain my wife's affections until just recently.) I'm not sure I'd say you're "piecing." I'm not sure this is the best place for you to get advice. To me, it sounds like your wife is well on the way to becoming a walk-away-wife (WAW). There is a DB forum for that situation. However, it's not getting a lot of traffic right now. Some of the major contributors have drifted away recently. I'll do some thinking about your situation and get back to you with more. I have to go right now.
