I am wondering how many other people are in this sort of situation. I would characterize it as a "Stalled WAS" The spouse walked away emotionally/psychologically, but for one reason or another never left and are themselves stuck in the status quot.
Fear. Doubt. Possibly strategy. Immaturity.
"I want what I want, but I'm afraid to do it." "I want what I want but what if I change my mind." "I want what I want but what if it will be better for me if I wait to pull the trigger." "I want what I want but I don't want to do it - you do it!"
I sure don't know what is in your wife's mind - but I've read your accounts and seen versions of the above. None of those represent positions of strength which ought to encourage you.
