Essentially, I fear that she feels she can't turn back and salvage our marriage.
This is a fear that is very common on these boards. LBS think that their WAS is too stubborn, too proud, too hurt, too insecure to give another chance to the M. I don't know what to make of it exactly because I also fear it, but I think it's a fear that's overplayed. Our WAS have all made a radical decision that overturned strongly held beliefs and very public commitments. How embarrassing to turn away from your wedding vows and your kid. Yet, they've done it. I doubt that coming back would be a greater shame or effort. If that's where their heart is, they'll do it.
