I noticed the same thing JB. I saw people hanging out for 2 years in limbo land. I saw people still living with their spouse when they KNEW that thee was an A going. That wasn't for me. I simply couldn't do that. After being separated for 2 1/2 months, I discovered that my W's A was still going on. I filed for D. I simply won't live like that. That resulted in the OM confessing to his W and an opportunity for my W and I to begin to heal. I wish she had decided on her own to end the A but that is not what God gave me. I will take what he has given me and do the best I can with it because I know there is something greater going on than what I am aware of.
In the end you have to decide what is right for you. You have to take care of yourself. 1 week of separation isn't long enough to decide anything. But that doesnt mean you have to stay in this place forever. You CAN fight for your M while separated. I've done it and it does work. Follow the plan. DB you a$$ off. Reevaluate a month at a time. You didnt get to this place overnight and it won't be fixed overnight. But it can be fixed.
