W told me that he broke up with her, and in the end, she respected his decision. He wanted his family life back.
She cried really hard and it was difficult for me to find any sympathy. It was hurtful to know she was crying over another man.
She did reiterate that she still intends to file for D. She says she feels she needs to turn a chapter in her life, and the official end of our marriage will do that for her.
She also said that despite everything, she still feels like she wants to trust me, and chose to tell me first before any of her friends. I said that I will always be here to listen.
I also told her that one thing I can promise her is that I will never beg for her to come back to me. I told her that I am moving on with my life too, with or without her as my W.
Right now, she is downstairs, crying and sobbing. As much as I want to comfort her, I know that I should simply leave her alone and let her grieve on her own terms.
I'd appreciate any advice on how to handle my situation given this new development. My gut tells me I need to simply back off (more than ever).
