Thanks for responding. I have read your sitch for a long time so we both know frustrating.
I am in such a better place than six months ago. The detachment has worked well. I think my wife has a long way to go to finish baking. This is a long road. The only frustrating part is her consistent message that she is done. I never do the relationship talk, she will normally from time to time remind me we will never reconcile. I usually validate and thats it. I do not tell her i want her back or talk about the future with her. Just validate.
Life goes on and so do we. What are our choices? I want to make sure I have tried everything before I call it quits. The one beneficial thing is if I call it quits is I have a life now. Not the one I envisioned 2 yrs ago but a new life.
Good luck to all in this journey of discovery. Both about ourselve and about the ones we love.
