Most of us here have been or are going through what you are.

It is the single hardest thing you will ever have to do. My sitch is awful, but I do know the longer you continue to mope the less likely it is she will return.

You have to do what we've all done - GO OUT AND GET A LIFE!

I know it doesn't feel like it, but you can be happy without your Wife. Everyday is still a struggle for me, but I realise any hope I have of getting my Wife to return all hinges on me being the confident, fun loving man that she fell in love with originally.

You have to do it - step by step - one day at a time.

Remember what MWD writes: it is the CONSISTENCY of your 180s that will be noticed. I firmly believe (rightly or wrongly) that most WAS look over their shoulder and question if they have made the right decision. If she looks over her shoulder and sees a man feeling sorry for himself and moping about you have little to no chance in my opinion.

Call friends and go out - get a hobby - try anything you can to take your mind off things - if only for an hour. Exercise - look after yourself - buy new clothes, change your haircut - anything to give YOU some confidence.
