My wife walked out 2

There's a problem with your idea. My son is nearly 4, but he's slow developing with his speech so he cannot carry on a conversation yet. WW and I have to ask about him because he can't tell us "I had fun, we did XYZ" yet.

I forgot to mention, major milestone in GAL tomorrow. Going to a meetup tomorrow for a Happy Hour after work. I've never done anything like this before! I'm an introvert, a homebody, a family man.

Oh, I feel the need to talk to her. But the other day when she finally opened up, I just kept trying to reason and explain and realized I was going up against a brick wall. It's like she knows I'm right and doesn't care. My wife will admit I'm the most intelligent person she knows, but she's not dumb either. If I talk now, she'll see through that. I'm just trying to move back. Problem, though, is that as I back off I realize I'm not talking to my wife.

If we ever get to talk it out in MC, I know I don't want to know anything about the A. It's pure evil and the more I know the less I would be able to forgive. I just want to hear specifics about what affected her so much, and she has refused to ever say anything. I hear what you're saying though. Working so hard just to get her to come to the table, start talking it out, and realize YOU now are the one who wants out.

I feel like when we finally get to the end, I want to give her a book like DR (ie read this before we officially go down this path) that shows her that not only is divorce not the answer for happiness but that couples who can drive through that barrier get back together AND are stronger. If she can read it and still has the urge to destroy, then ain't much I can do. I've looked up a lot of books on surviving A's, you should check out a couple.

In addition, I joined a Divorce Support Group off of Meetup. Even if it doesn't solve anything, it'll be nice to get some stuff off my chest among a sympathetic crowd and hear how other people are dealing with things.
