Thanks for your words of support volleydog, PMA, FitChik and AJ,
It helps so much to get perspective from others who are facing similar heartache, and this forum is really the only place that I can share my fears and frustrations.
I do talk to my mom a few times a week, and she gives me the unconditional love and support that only a mom can give, but she and my dad have been married for more than 50 years, so she can't empathize the same way you all can.

What I mean is that until your wife hands you the papers, act like she's not going to. She still can't bring herself to cross that line.
That is a good point AJ, she may be waiting for me to give in, or she may be worried about how it will affect the kids, but unless/until it happens, it's just more of her digging her heels in and saying "I'm not going to change my mind".
And my not giving in or doing anything to address or move along the process is my way of saying "I'm not going to change my mind either". I'll just have to wait and see. Time and space. Smile and wave boys.
Thanks again to all for your encouragement and support.
