I changed a LOT of things about myself and for the good but a few I missed but I was not concentrating on them. I will tell you this:

If I make these changes and they stick, which based on me, I know I can do and she is the same then I will walk. No doubt about it. But I cannot until then and I hope she gives me the chance.

For you it seems and I could be wrong but...

You really don't know why she is leaving.

After 16 years and a four and half hour conversation with her best friend while my wife went to sleep I found out exactly what has been wrong all these years. That is really the bomb that was dropped on me and not when my W told me she wanted a divorce.

Let me ask you this:

Did you check in every week or every month or every day to see how she is and if her life was being fulfilled?

If not, then yes we are in the same boat.
