Well, I finally made it home. Dreaded seeing what was going to happen. Actually, it is more scary that I thought. My wife is textbook WAW from the article. She is quiet, resolved, says she doesn't hate me, still loves me just not romantically anymore. Says she hasn't been happy for years and thinks I haven't either. Got mad at me once and said she had dreaded my coming home cause it was like being around an emotional toddler. That hurt but I do tend to get emotional about stuff. I can see where I have in the past put myself or things before my wife--really hurts to see now.
My wife started a r talk last night and said why don't we try a separation and stay married for now and see how it works out? Man, that doesn't sound great to me but I guess there's some hope. She told me my daughter is fine and that I don't need to sit around and mope when she leaves. Seems like my wife has GAL while I've been gone. She has friends, lost weight, working out, etc.--seems happy and confident. She still says that there is no other man just that she wants to see what it's like to live alone for a while. I don't want her to leave. Gonna go get some DB books tomorrow. So scared right now--wish I could go back in time and change so many things. Held it together pretty good last night--didn't cry, didn't plead or beg. Just listened to her and agreed with her on a lot of past issues. She still says she will go to counseling but she honestly doesn't think she wants to be married anymore.

It's like she has moved on with her life and there is nothing I can do about it. Any thoughts or suggestions on this?
