Sorry for being a lil blunt here...but it seems like you are carrying a lot of resentment toward your W here.

1: Yup, you want your marriage and your wife back
2: You feel that your wife betrayed you. I am assuming that you are little upset about this
3: I dunno, but do you feel you are owed some kind of apology?

See if the above are true, then you might be you are not being true to your self. You might first either have to prioritize what you want and execute in that manner, or throw away your resentments, forgive your W fully and move from there on.

To give you an example: My W called me up and told me that she's filed for the divorce on the same day that my grandfather died. She told me right after i told her the news of his death. Yes for 2 days i could not believe and could not forget that she did not even care for a dead person. Oddly though right now it is not a problem for me. I dont mind what she did that day. I just want her back. I know that your situation is more delicate than mine and i can understand what you are feeling.

I think once you forgive your wife or accept the truth of what you want, you might be able to proceed better.
