Because of her non contact, you have no idea what she is actually thinking or doing. You are only hurting yourself by imagining the worst. She is likely is not happy with herself and her own life right now, and is only avoiding or lashing out at you in response to her pain. You have to keep this in mind and not take it personally. She has been gone for a long time. You are not the cause of her pain.

The other thing I keep thinking of is Why is she not returning the text to talk. Also why is she so afriad of even talking on the phone. She just seems so upset and angry. You know I should be the one that is angry. Shoot she did not pay the car payment till it was 30Days late.


See above. SHE is in a bad place right now. It is not about you. At the very least, she does not know what she wants.

What do i do now?? how do i get her to engage in to talking to me. If she never replies to the text what next. Also how long do i wait for a responce. My DB Couch is not in till 3-11-12 I just dont know how to even respond if she does respond.


It’s so very difficult, isn’t it? Here’s the thing: If you do manage to “force” her to talk to you, you likely will not like what you hear. Are you ready for this? Maybe you are, I don't know.

I understand the pain of not knowing her thoughts and intentions, and that you can’t wait around forever for her to make a move of some sort, but there likely will be pain if / when you do talk. It’s not going to be the happy ending you are hoping for.

So here’s what you need to decide for yourself: Am I in so much pain, that ending the marriage would offer me relief?

If the answer is no, then you need to suck it up, continue to GAL w/o wife, and put her out of your mind.

If the answer is yes, talk to a lawyer to see your options. Many can and will send a letter of intent or such to the spouse without you actually filing for D. This may or may not spark her into coming around. Or it could have her saying “great, let’s go, where do I sign.” You have to be prepared for either outcome, so don’t make this decision lightly. One way or another, you’ll get the beginning of a resolution to of all this. Re-read "After the Last Resort Technique, the Ultimatum" in DR.

I also think well maybe i should get out there and date and stuff. But to be honest i just dont think i am ready yet. I feel that all i will do is think of my W and compare. I just dont know


No, you are not ready to date. I know some disagree, but my advice is to not date until you are divorced. And even then I recommend taking it slowly. If my W and I get D, I doubt I will date for a full year. I just won’t be ready, and frankly I'm not at all interested in a relationship with any other woman. I'll be fine on my own, and you will be too.
