Does that make sense?


I do get it. Basically, I have to find a way to kill my love for my wife. If things were meant to be, then maybe a new live will sprout and grow.

Or to use your analogy, perhaps in the future the two of you will open a new door...

For me, it all hinges on what my wife wants. Basically, I have to hang here in limbo until she is ready to move forward, one direction or the other... Does that make sense?



I can't say it doesn't make sense. But why don't you try to say the opposite of that sentence?

"For me, it does NOT hinge upon what my wife wants b/c I wll be happy with or without her."


And what is your plan if she says 1) nothing; or 2) she's done ...??

You gave her an ultimatum (against all the advice from here, but... no matter now)

and I fear her answer will not be what you want

BUT IF SHE DOES SAY that "OM is out"...how will you cope with not believing her?

B/C I sense you won't. How do you think she's going to enjoy that?

I sense trust issues so, you'll have to struggle with that too.

And that's if she says she DOES want to work on the m.

The poll taking is such a bad idea, for you especially. You're very pulled,

and you seem to be the victim of the last strong opinion you hear.


I wish for you peace and clarity from within, NOT "hinged" on her.

Hinged solely on YOU.


If only you knew that the one chance you have with her,

is from a position of strength.
That comes from detaching and NOT "hinging" on her actions/words...
