Your name sounds familiar. Have you been here before?
Anyway, welcome to our community. Many good people here to help you. It is getting my bedtime and will take me a while to get to sleep, so I won't talk tonight. However, I do encourage you to come as often as you can to talk to us. Even go over to other people's threads and talk to them and that way, you will build up a support system.
I know you are in pain and so many share what you are going through. The best thing to do right now......is to give her what she wants.....SPACE....and that means no communication except regarding the children. If you keep pushing.....you will lose her forever.
Be sure you read the DR book. That is a must!
Take care, Sandi
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
