Mods: I'm posting my storage again because my initial post hasn't been approved yet; I think maybe the forum ate it? Sorry for the dupe.
Hi all. I just finished reading DB and DR and I thought I would join and get the help of this forum. The BD happened to me at the beginning of the year. My W moved in with her parents and filed about a week later. She says there isn't anyone else. There isn't much contact now, mainly text and the occasional phonecall. I did everything MWD says not to do at first, before I read the book. Now I'm trying to GAL, 180, and hope she changes her mind.
I had been depressed and emotionally and physically absent for much of our marriage. We had a lot of external issues: money/jobs, sick/dying relatives, etc. No kids. She just had a major milestone birthday, so I think some of this may be MLC stuff.
The funny thing is that I was planning on turning over a new leaf on the first, but I guess maybe it's too late?
Anyway, I hope you guys can share some advice and encouragement. I'd do anything to get my wife back. How can the DB tactics work when you're already living in different locations and don't have kids to force the occasional contact?
