Wife wants marriage with OM, is there any hope?

[mindsin]

"but at the same time, be clear that this is a choice that I'm not ultimately happy with?"

She already knows that you're unhappy. In fact, she knows that you are going to be unhappy at anything that you can't control or is in your best interests, like the A's.

Hi MrBond. I just wanted to address this one point. I have indicated to her that I was in agreement with her that separation may be in the best interest for both parties (cooling off period, as we both called it). I've also indicated to her that I hope deep down inside that we could someday reconnect (as husband and wife), even if it's many years from now. I said that even if currently we can't make marriage work, there's no reason why we can't make friendship and co-parenting work.

Did I say too much here? Am I agreeing with her too much (with regard to dissolving our marriage)?

Thanks again for your feedback.
