I think this is exactly where both GIMA and I are.

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.

I am really not sure how to put strings on what I would really want, which is "be open to the M and the R".


Thinker/GIMA - I am in the same boat. W has been emotionally checked out and "Divorced in Spirit" for 12 months now, but for whatever reason (the kids, actually) she won't go. I would accept what Thinker said above as my 'strings' as well - just be open to the possibility of M working out.
