And will there come a point where she may act too later - after my feelings for her have withered?


Your wife is way ahead of you on this. Her feelings have withered. So is what she saying script or you? Does it really matter? Don't fall into the same trap, it's neither healthy or productive.

Get ahead of her on this curve. You are dead in her eyes, your marriage is dead and she has lost hope. What can she do to hurt you now? You are already dead. To get out of limbo you have to take action, shake things up and pay attention to what gets a healthy reaction.

Since then, I think I just angered myself into detaching.


Try loving yourself into detaching. You can still care, love and cherish your wife and detach at the same time.

Feelings can change quickly. Emotions can be influenced. Make your mind up on what you want then do what you think is best for you.
