Hello Pinhead,
Things have really moved on for you in the past few days. Now she's the one trying to get you to stay put.

I can now say I agree when you express a sort of disgust at the idea of staying with someone who'll sleep with you and "play" happy families, but says she's not attracted anymore, or even never was. I have no idea what you're like, but you post as a sensitive, intelligent, resilient person who wants to enjoy life in the present and who links sex to love and affection. In my book, that's an attractive man with a heart. You deserve to be loved in return and respected.

Your wife doesn't seem to know what she wants; when you threw in the towel, she suddenly came to life. I hate to say it, as my H is in footloose flatland himself, - the situation is different - but maybe your moving out and striking out on your own for a while will make her realize what she really wants (you) and commit as you wish. Up 'till now, she's had you at her mercy.
You also said you were bored; maybe you've both got stuck on "tramlines" and need a real shake-up to see things/people differently.
It'll be lonely on your own, but maybe then she'll see what she'll miss.

Are you going to suspend MC too? Maybe you need a brak from talking for a while.

Anyway, I wish you well. You deserve someone to be happy to see you and be with you.
