Fast track to her divorcing me

[g450]

Lets be honest. Most wives do give a lot of themselves. They are hardwired that way and society and the church teaches them this. So yes I completely understand that. She has more than done her part in our marriage.

When my Son left home there was a huge void in my life and I sometimes wondered where me and my XW were going to next. Two years after that I found out the hard way.

I do listen to her. Ironically, the last time I was there I had to leave and she seemed to want to continue a conversation about a virus on her laptop etc. It was almost like she was sad to see me leave her breakfast table. But that may have just been wishful thinking on my part.

My Son has alienated himself from both her and even me now (has a GF) to an extent so I am all she has left. Her family lives 300 miles away so she depends on either me or her friends for help with things.

I know I should not do things for her but I keep it to a minimum and she is the one that initiates the contact, not me. I no longer persue or plead. I simply do acts of service that she needs from time to time and she sometimes does some for me (usually breakfast). Mind you this is only maybe twice a month or so.

She does NOT want to be friends anymore and since this is now understood by us both, there are zero expectations on my end.

Right now this is my best strategy I think. It allows me to show her GALing and keeps predators away who tend to take advantage of women like her.

I really am getting slowly detached from her but I still care enough to be protective of her. It's only natural after 23 years and all she has done for me and my Son.

Will she ever come back? I doubt it. But in the next few years this will probably not matter to me anymore. But I wont go into details here about what Im doing to move on with my own life.

Wish me luck.
