What to do when an EA involved?

[Hoju]

I went to the library for the first time yesterday and they will have DR in within the week, it looks like I'll have to order DB online though, not sure which i should start with or if it even matters.

Is it still ok to hold onto hope and let your spouse know you still care about her? Not that you need her in your life, the choice to leave is hers and is entirely free of any guilt.

The other night she was bawling and very upset with guilt over what she was doing. I decided to go and comfort her since not being there emotionally is why she wants out in the first place. I gave her a gentle hug told her everything was going to be ok and that if she wanted to talk to come get me. I then excused myself and went for a run. Was this the correct course of action? Or should i have just let her work through it herself?
