I guess my own belief in a way around this chicken-and-the-egg thing is to help "prime the pump." I do believe that someone in a life crisis is far more likely to make a move back toward the marriage, if the OP is out of the picture. Can we totally control that? No.
We totally agree. And I think you agree that detachment is one way to accomplish this. Letting Go! Getting on with your life and acting "as if" they are never coming back.
