I think you're right. The only thing I'd say about that is I feel that even if my W wanted to reconcile (no sign of it) I'm not sure she would have the courage to admit it.
And that is EXACTLY why I temp checked when I did. My W is TERRIBLE at communicating things, so I felt like I had to check just in case she was thinking of reconciling but didn't want to admit it. Wasn't the case though. And frankly I haven't heard of a single case where the LBS temp checked and got good news from the WAS.
Yes I can't imagine it would go well.
Truth is I love my W and value our marriage greatly BUT - I'm currently 35 years old (yes I know thats not very old) but I would like to be married to a person and have more children - I was happy with 1 child but always wanted to parent with my Wife. How long can you possibly put your own romantic life on hold in case the fog clears and she changes her mind?
