Well, I had a backslide today and decided to contact my wife after 27 days of absolutely no contact.
I don't think you backslid, after that much time it was reasonable to try to reach out to her. It didn't go well, but that's not because you backslid, it's just because of her attitude.

I have decided to close the case and sign the divorce papers with no intent of financial gain. It will be uncontested at this point.
Be very careful, don't capitulate and give her everything she wants out of a possibly misguided notion that it might improve your chances of reconciliation. I don't know if what you're asking for is unreasonable, but if it is reasonable and she's calling it unreasonable then that's her problem, not yours. If you back down now she may lose what little respect she has left for you, so backing down is not necessarily the right answer.

I am absolutely drained emotionally and believe at this point it is better to just "let her go" and prove to her by this that all I ever wanted was to work on our marriage.
I don't think it would prove that to her at all. If anything, backing down and not fighting makes it appear that you want the divorce no matter what it costs you.
