Surf,

Reading your post, it is me to a T. Successful, driven, perfect marriage from the outside, W's A.

This post is reassurance because I tell people that regardless of the outcome, I am going to be happy with my life. I was happy before, and will be again with or without my wife. Sadly, I do feel that the same outcome for my W may be looming. I was just saying yesterday, I hope she grows out of it especially so she could be a better mom for our kids from this experience. However, From my view in our sitch, I see her unhappy with her decisions and all of the compromises in her character that she is making; choosing to chase this fantasy with someone that doesn't even want a real R with her. All she needs to do is turn back to the people that love her and we would all help her. That's my problem right now. I still love her and keep trying to figure out ways to rescue her, but I'm starting to come to acceptance that I can't do that.

Did you feel the same way? If so, how did you manage to separate yourself from her enough that you filed?
