Hoping for WAS to come home

[JaxFL14]

Suckerpunch,
8 months? Ugh, I feel for you. As I said before, I'm only 2 months since BD and can not imagine adding 6 months to that and not seeing significant improvement or at least her telling me one way or the other. Why do these spouses take so long to actually file or go through with the divorce? A month ago I told my W that when the time came that she felt the need to date someone that I WANTED the divorce. She said ok. Was that the smartest plan? Don't know, but my counselor asked me if I would be ok with her dating while still married to me? I said no. I do at this time call it a deal breaker as you did but know it will be very hard to follow through with. Your story def seems a lot like mine. I guess a huge problem I have is this, I left you and said I want a divorce and do not want to attempt to save the marriage, but I'll just leave you sit for however long I please while I do what I want and you give me child support. I guess I take some spec of hope from the fact she's not running off to file for D, and that I hope she is really wanting to see if this is what she wants. Hanging pictures of us as a family up in your new house seems so strange to me, planning to still go on vacation with me? She holds all the power at this time. And I know I have a choice in all this but number one, I want my wife back and my family back together. Hearing my 5 yr old tell me he wants his mommy to live here again is tearing me up inside. I'm starting to vent and ramble. Ha. I'll start adding you to my prayers as well. Good luck to you and thank you for sharing your story.
