I agree with not giving an ultimatum.

When you tell her what your IC suggested, I believe she will agree completely. You need to expect it and receive it when she agrees, and don't act as if you thought she would say anything different. She will be glad to hear you say you are moving on. She will even feel relieved and may even act elated. Be prepared for it.

She will enjoy her new found freedom for a while. She believes a D is going to ease a lot of her pain. It will take time for her to see that the single life isn't what she thought it would be like.

You have shown you have strength! Patience is another type of strength. I believe she will finally realize you're the man she M and will want to reconcile.

Don't give up.


It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
