"Got an email from the wife telling me she "has made peace with her decision to divorce."

So.. why do you think she would do this? Seems to me she would have made peace with it when she said she did not want to be together anymore. Or when you moved out. Sometimes I think this part of it is something they (WAS) do just to keep you bound up and acting crazy. Can't really say if it is intentional or just something that happens naturally. Keep in mind that the process of "filing" is going to dredge up lots of emotion in her. Just stay even and solid with your choices. There is nothing that says you have to help her with the process. Let her do it. People don't always understand everything that comes along with a choice. until they are standing knee deep in the mud.

"Is it over? is it time to grow a pair and accept that she is not coming back? I'm feeling lost and desperate...."

This is why the first step is to always do something to get your mind off the "stitch". The quicker you can get your mind to stop wandering and your feet on solid ground the less lost and desperate you will feel and that is something that she will see.

So.. what are you doing to GAL?
