She wants to "be friends" so that her guilt is diminished. If you honestly don't want to be friends with her, then don't. Start GALing.
"I hohnestly don't know if this will be good for my mental or emotional health, or if I am headed down a path to total destruction."

"My hopes are, over the next couple months, that we can rekindle a friendship that will eventually lead us back to happy matrimony. I am hopeful that my wife will eventually come around...."
