Keep your head up. It seems like a good sign that she is affectionate towards you and I think you need to believe there is nobody else.

Your situation is so close to mine and I just want to tell her "you can divorce anytime, but you have my attention and we need to try hard to fix this" "try hard now and divorce later... what is a few months out of 15 years together".

Like you, I see in hindsight what she is saying, but I also say we had a great marriage, period. If she wanted more we could have talked about it differently. My MIL and FIL said to me the other day that they understand her point, but divorce is not justified. This is hurting a lot of people, especially my children.

All I ask is that we try, "stay and be happy". We were happy once and we have all the hard stuff behind us. What hurts me the most is she will go find a new relationship and will work hard on that to get what she wants. Why not work hard on a "sure" thing, US.

Just keep going and never stop trying. Use what the folks here say and know you did all you could. Remember, no regrets...
