Lost --

There is no "gone." There is only: we do not know the future.

There are people in this forum who have been holding steady for years, despite their spouses doing all kinds of crazy stuff.

Only you can decide when and how to switch courses. You can say, I don't know if she will ever return, and I cannot wait any longer. I can respect that. But you can't say she is gone. You don't know that.

What has SHE done to make the divorce happen? Maybe you should let her take the next step -- meanwhile you educate yourself on the divorce process so that you are empowered to respond.
