Thanks Gritter. I just feel that as my w says 'too much water has gone under the bridge' as since this started, I have done so much wrong. Here's a summary:
feb to April:
We were separated but getting on well, talking all the time, affectionate and it was so silly that two people like us were in this situation. She said she just needed some space to get the feelings back for me and us and to miss us. I never gave her space, and she never took it.....she would always call me each night to talk about the day. I then started giving ultimatums - come home or end it, I'm sick if this crap, wake up to yourself and look at what you're doing to us.

Easter it all fell apart. I was pushing her to go to Thailand with me to a luxury resort. She said yes, moved back home for 3 nights, things were going well. The night before we leave she drops it on me and walks out saying it's over.

April to June
I repeatedly call and text her.
Beg her to come home, cry to her.
Make her feel panicky and stressed, one day after she said she wanted a divorce i called her 20 times - WTF! Who does that?? Her work sent her home because she was a mess.
Her 11yr old niece emails me to say hi one day. I tell her what's happened with our M, which upsets her. I tell her to call her auntie and tell her not to divorce me. Again WTF!! Why did I do that? W was livid about that one.

June
She gets a lawyer, I freak out and beg her to stop this.
She stops paying the mortgage and closes our shared bank account.

I get a lawyer and she tells me to change the locks on the house so W can't come and take stuff and can't have access since she isn't paying the mortgage. I do this, not sure why, I think out if anger or spite. Probably the first thing I have done out of anger.
Mid July she tries to come to the house to get some things to go to America for a holiday. I was out and told her she can't get in. She goes ballistic, cries, screams at me etc.
She calms down and we talk. Again I go back to begging her, saying she's making a mistake, I've changed etc.
A week later we have breakfast before she goes to America. We get on well, even laughing about lawyers. I tell her to look at us, how well we still get on despite all this crap. She replies that it's because we are good friends. I give her a card expressing my love for her and a black pearl necklace, which matches her pearl earrings I gave her as a wedding present. She cries and that's it.

A week later I find the DB site and get a coach. I should have found this many many months ago and done LRT and dropping rope. All I've done is stuff up over and over and have probably done irreparable damage to the M now.

If I never see or hear from her again, I understand why and in a way I deserve it.
Good night.
