My W likes me, enjoys my company, thinks I'm a good father, but she told me there is an emptiness inside her where I should be. I am 99% sure that place is where her respect for me belongs. Re-establishing and maintaing her respect for me is the only hope I have for reconciliation. The way we were going, even if she decided to come back, for the kids, for financial reasons, for my companionship, that respect would not have been there, and our M would be hollow. I believe this is our ONLY hope for true reconciliation.
Then that pretty much answers your own question and concerns that you expressed in your 4th paragraph, no??
