Benn M 7 years. W left 2 months ago. No infidelity on either part - mostly financial issues which led to smaller issues being bigger ones. At first W would have no communication - after applying some DB techniques she now texts or calls (mainly about resolving financial issues or about daughter 3.) Been "dark" in recent days - over which time she did not communicate until today. I'm not sure how to read her communications. Is she reaching out to me? Or is she just trying to get things straight on her end to file for divorce. She has stopped mentioning divorce, but I know a couple of her relatives tell her divorce isn't a bad thing. She stopped wearing her wedding ring a few weeks ago and wears another ring in its place that we bought together. She comes from divorced parents and stated to my mom just a year ago that she could never do that to our daughter. I've been steadily making the changes in myself that she has been looking for - but I fear it may be too little too late. I'm being cautiously optimistic at this point - but I don't want to give hope where there really may not be any.
