There's a guy called Lovestwinslost needing your help. He is in WAS and his thread is called Busting my WAW.
He has been at DB for three years but he is in a desperate stage because his wife just announced she is leaving after not giving him much affection for years. I think you are at a stage where you can really help him thru this tough patch. Would you have a chat with him? He is having a hard time detaching which is a understatement.
Kev, reading your post, you know yourself very well now. You know that you need a whole lot of patience and you are beginning to understand her mindset. Good for you. Now is the time for compassion. She is confused, despite what she tells you, so give her time to sort out her thoughts. Time alone, reflection, seeking happiness, she is asking herself a lot of questions I bet and she needs to find the answers herself. So this is the time as spouses we have to do what is incredibly difficult, sit back and let them wallow and think.
You can do it.
