I have been in this situation before, and am currently in it again. The first time was extremely difficult. She made no secrets about how she wanted a divorce and she was in another relationship with someone else. I was crushed. We were separated for 7 months before she came back. Out of the blue, she called me and asked me to come home, that she wanted our marriage. I packed up as much stuff as I could and went back. Same thing again, I messed up, she is hurt. I moved out a few weeks ago and she has started dating, took the rings off. My ring is still on, because I am married, and I love that woman.
MY advice to you is, nobody can tell you how lo ng to wait. If it is something that you want, you have to be willing to deal with the roller coaster of emotions that come EVERY DAY. Right now, even for me, every day is a struggle. If is something that you are willing to fight for, then you have to do it. I look at what we were and I know what we can be. 3 daughters involved too, I am not willing to give up. My issue is, that if we do reconcile, not messing up again.
Stay strong my friend, it is not the end of the world, miracles happen every day. FIGHT FOR IT IF IT IS WHAT YOU WANT!!!
