Gump, it's easy to overthink all of this God knows we all do it. The way I look at it and there are so many examples of this I see around me. Yes our W's right now have done there best to convince themselves they need better/deserve better/ arnt happy. It will take TIME and the realization that everything they are building themselves up for as being better IS NOT better before they will see what they had was in fact already good!
That's the way I view it and I am not giving up by letting her find the path because weather it was now or later this had to happen for her to realize what she had. If and I seriously doubt this but if she decides long term that this is what she wants then regardless of how totally gutted I feel I'm glad she left because I don't have time in my life to waste it with someone who's not 100% committed.
It's seriously all perspective we FEEL ripped apart and that's human nature but I know that regardless of what happens I have one shot at this life and if she decides she doesn't want to live it with me then I don't want her to. You need to try and look at it from different angles and truly believe that it is her loss not yours. And when you believe you feel better and you come across far more attractive to her because you don't care! Well maybe not don't care but you are open to let life take its course. This has made me feel so much better of late and I can feel that she knows I'm slipping away.
Stay strong.
