W should be getting copies of our separation agreement in the mail this week for her signature.
It's been 5 months since the affair started. W is now living down the street from OM and carpooling to work with him. She hasn't made contact with me for anything but separation stuff in the past few weeks.
Saw W's grandparents over the weekend and it turns out they know about the A. Grandma said W called her sobbing a couple months ago saying we were separated, but grandma didn't believe what she heard and that the truth eventually "came out." W's whole family is very conciliatory about the sitch so I assume they all know the truth and are all talking.
It has gotten easier for me day to day, but this is all still painful. I'm still trying to move on while continuing to pray for W and our M. Hope in the R is hard to maintain when there is no interaction with W. She lives in another state now so the idea of her coming back to the M seems even more unrealistic now than before.
I'm contemplating some big decisions now for my next steps - selling/renting the house, returning to graduate school, and possibly moving to another state.
Bingo!
It's all about you now. Sobbing on or waiting for the wife is not necessarily a wise move, and she decided to be his wife.
You have a lot of great things you can accomplish with your life.
