Listen to Puppy.
Listen to SW.

I too was EXACTLY where you are now about 6 months ago. Blindsided. She was unhappy? Who is this person now? I don't recognize her. No counseling? No separation? NO CHANCE?

I was a WRECK. I lost SIXTY TWO pounds in a little over 2 months. I was barely functional for three. I had 5 hours of sleep on a GOOD night.

My tips:
1) Detachment. It's like riding a bike. You will fall off but eventually it sticks. This is job #1.
2) DO NOT MOVE OUT OF THE HOUSE...EVER.
3) Stop groveling. This is about her, not you. Man up.
4) Take advantage of her fog and get a SWEET deal. Remember: in the eyes of the law, divorce is a FISCAL TOOL. Think about your future. You can't stop her from leaving, but you CAN make sure you get a good deal now.

It hurts. Worse than anything, but you know what? IT DOES GET BETTER!!!
