To date I've lost 35 pounds in weight since my W told me we were separating (August 2). Suprisingly, I feel great!

I don't want out. I still love my wife deeply however strange that may appear to other people!

The reason I tell you that is so that you remember to go through the entire grieving process.


I don't think I've grieved completely as yet. Although I have certainly started.

People's decision-making processes are not as logical when they are desperate or scared. That's how she's in that situation, and how she can't get out of it right now even though I suspect that she wants to.


I don't think my W wants to get out of her situation. As you said she's desperate and scared just now. I think she thinks she loves this guy, as all WAS's do, but my wife, in her emotional and insecure state, has latched onto this guy. I think my only hope is for him to wake up and leave not for her to wake up and kick him out. Even if that does happen, my W hasn't fought for anything during our M so I doubt she will therefore fight for me now.

They could be truly in love and be each others soul mate for all I know.
