Not sure if this qualifies as piecing or not...

I don't have a lot to say because I'm still processing.

The hardest part was hearing my wife say that she has no romantic feelings for me right now. I know that's the case, but I thought things were starting to heal, if slowly.

She's still a good person and a good friend, but we both agree that we do not want to be "roommates for life".

The MC sounded like he had a good handle on things so far. He suggested that my wife be evaluated for low-level depression relating to the surgery she had -- physical pain and discomfort can trigger depression, apparently -- and she agreed. A breakthrough, as I've asked her to be evaluated several times, to great resistance.

And on my part, I have apologized several times for my role in getting our family and friends tangled up in this; the MC asked me if I would be willing to put it into writing, and I agreed.
