Hi jim. That must have been tough to hear However it was nothing new and it's sounds to me like she is trying to convince herself as well as you. As everyone knows I am not an expert so please take everything I say with a pinch of salt.

I read a lot of different stichs on on here and although there are similarities no two are exactly alike. Your W is hurting and rightly so by what she said and you agreed with. You two have a connection and she does not want to lose it but at the moment she feels she has to. As been said a million times on this board , we cannot control the WAS This has happened for a reason to all of us. We will all be happy again one day , with of without WAS. PLEASE continue on your path of detachment and GAL. It's the quickest way for you to heal, either way.

Here the hope bit, your W loved you deeply, at the moment she is not I love with you but the connection is still there be the best Jim possible TO EVERYONE, not just W. You have complete control over you and continue to show her who she feel in love mwith. I have read your posts and you come accross as a really nice guy

Your future is unknown , your W can always change her mind , nothing is set in stone Continue as you have been and happiness will come and I hope it's much sooner than later. Rd
