My sitch and mza8's are not the same, he's just asking about the steps I chose to take. The advice you have given to mza8 is fine as far as I'm concerned. I have never claimed to be an expert, or be experienced. I'll defer to you on that.
My W and I are in contact (we never cut off contact) she does not want to sell our house, etc. We are currently working on our M, and it was initiated by my W.
And yes, I did hear the "I'm done, no hope" etc., but rather than saying something like "this isn't working for me, either", I chose to be patient and wait until she was ready to talk. I personally am not interested in finding another woman.
I realize mza8 is not where I am, and I feel bad for him.
