I have the same questions as hope. I understand that you are validating her anger towards you for your role in the breakdown of the M, but you haven't told us what that is? Is that something that you can share?
I'm sorry to hear that you are going through this. My W and I are physically separated too. This is the worst experience of my life. You are not alone. I can't answer your question as to whether or not others have saved M once D papers filed, but I have read that there have been situations where this has happened. Also, I read in a book that up to 14% of all couples who divorce, reconcile later and remarry.
I wouldn't lose hope yet if I were you, but I also understand how feeling that "false hope" keeps us from moving forward for nothing. Again, I don't have an answer for you here. I am in the same boat.
