This is all great advice and hoping it works for me.
Wife ordered me out of the house and served the D papers all on the same day, about 1 mo. ago. We have not had any contact since. We exchange the kids with no conversation. She has said "It's over", and all of that but.... I'm hoping that your advice about giving her time and space will bring her back!!
So, my patience are being tried and my hopes dim every day we we don't speak but.... i'm willing to do whatever it takes to get her back.
thanks for posting this, as I will read it every day for inspiration!
