I'm not quite sure what I have on my hands here - I have read the book and it seems to me my Walkaway Wife could also be in the midst of a midlife crisis...

Just after her 39th Birthday in December my Wife told me our marriage was over (we have been married 9 years and have a 8 year old Son together). She said she no longer loved me and couldn't be with me...

I managed to pull her back a little and she agreed to marriage counselling - she only came to two sessions and then decided to think about things whilst staying around the corner at her Mums...

Saturday she told me that "her mind has never been clearer and we were over" she packed a bag and left (to her Mums house). She has said time and time again that she can't be with someone she doesn't love. (Prior to this, every night she told me she loved me).

She came around today to sort out custody of our child - it's 50/50 and I remain in the house - she has officially moved into her parents house...

She told me today that "she was never coming back so I had to accept that and move on". She has told my Sister that "He'll be fine - he'll meet someone else soon".

She was pleasant too me whilst she was packing her stuff away - and even hugged me when she left. She was visibly sad whilst moving her stuff out.

Her Mother who was with her told me "I don't understand this either Carl but I really don't think she will ever come back".

I'm devastated for myself and for my family. She has taken her wedding ring off...

Is it really all over now? What am I dealing with here? I'm so very confused...

Please help.
