W said its over - Said I can't change her mind

[Duds3]

Having some thoughts today as I drive. First I wish I would have found this site way back on Jan 5. This site is great place for me to vent and receive valuable feedback, for that I'm very thankful and praise God for everyone's help.

Hard for me to believe my W will ever change her mind and move back. She is extremely prideful and to move back home and move all her stuff back she would have "egg all over her face."

Is she really struggling with this right now like the board suggests WAW do?

If she didn't have anyone to run to, like her friend she has been staying with, I'm guessing that's where she still is, the Sitch would be way different or not happening at all.

We used to work at the same place before I moved to MO. If I still work at the same place as her this wouldn't be happening either I don't believe

At what point do I stand up for myself and tell people who she has been telling only parts of the story to paint me as the bad guy the entire story. It's not about sides with me. I have nothing to hide. It's not me versus her, it's our story to me.

Marriage is covenant not a contract. After becoming closer to God over the last couple years I really struggle with this. Marriage is scared and should be treated as such.

Marriages end over infedility, addictions, and financial issues, the top 3 reasons according to my research. We have none of these which is frustrating to me. Our issues can be overcome with time, effort and renewed sense of communication and commitment. To me this is the most frustrating in dealing with this mess.
