She recently indicated that she can't go back to loving me again, didn't indicate why. She did say that she is just staying for the kids and me. I am not sure that I can continue to live like this. She has put up this emotional wall between us that is painful to deal with on a daily basis. She has two personalities, the cold non-emotional one when dealing with me, and the all laughs and giggles one when dealing with everyone else. I think others refer to it as having an Alien in your house. She is no longer the person that I met, fell in love with and married. I soon will be a walk away spouse, but would prefer to save my marriage.

Looking for some advice on how to break this stalemate. Every day that this continues, I feel like I am becoming just like her, emotionally detached from the marriage.

Break the stalemate by ending the open marriage. As long as she is involved, as long as her heart is with another man, she will not have room for you or anything you happen to be doing to improve.
