Hi Jim. Thanks again for taking an interest. It's a tough one L/C is convinced W will want to come home but is not ready. EXW seems ok at the moment She just called in to say hello after work and dropped in cakes and doughnuts Like many , maybe her life isnt perfect but still she seems to have accepted it.
I have a friend that has been helping me through this. His W left for just over a year and they are back together over 7 years. He agrees completely with you and only said on Thursday I have to step up and offer the olive branch
I'm not sure it's possible for EXW to give up her new life but I think I just have to Accept what is
