Wife walking away

[LBSinTX]

Ben,

I did it. She called me to give me an update on my son who's been sick(nothing serious.) I told her that I had something I wanted to say. I said I don't want the divorce. I told her I wouldn't stand in her way and that she has her own decisions to make. She told me she'd made her decision - which I'd expected. She was shocked by my confession. She told me she'd become too dependent and insecure in the relationship and a friend told her she'd never be happy with anyone until she could learn to be happy with herself(I'm wondering if that was coming from or was about OM.) I told her I wanted to keep our family intact but I wasn't advocating working things out now or anytime in the near future and that I'd come to realizations myself with some distance from the situation but didn't go into details. Again, she seemed very surprised. I'm wondering if she feels burdened now that she owns the decision completely, and if there will be resentment as a result. Time will tell. At least I didn't just go quietly away.
