This is so hard Excile. I know the pain you are feeling in your heart.
I'm sensing that you are not detached. You have to find a way to get there. It [censored]. It hurts. But you are going to have to get there so that you can take care of yourself. You are in limbo and that is no place to be.
You are trying to mind read a little too. I do sense that your W is conflicted. Just because it feels like things are over, doesn't mean that they actually are. You've still got to DB, detach, 180 and GAL. That is what will give you a shot at your M.
Dont let her cake eat. It sounds like that is what she is doing. You don't have to do things as a family in order to properly take care of your kids. If she's pushed you out, you are not a family anymore. You can be kind to her and be a good father to your kids but that doesn't mean you have to "play" family when you are not. Unless you want to. You can certainly decide that you want to be friends going forward. But if you allow that, I think that decreases your chances of reconciling. She needs to miss you. She needs to know what she has lost. Be an awesome man and show her what she is missing out on.
