Responses to "I love you but i'm not in love"

What are the best "divorce busting" responses for when a walk away wife says "i love you but i'm not in love with you"?

If you could go back to when you first heard it and say something different to change the dynamic (do a 180), what would you say?

I'm wondering this, too. I think we are in shock when this happens.

Yep, i wasn't thinking clearly and also didn't even know about divorce busting strategies.

I think i may get a "do over" today, so i'm thinking through how i should respond.

I expect her to say "I still just feel like i’m not in love with you"

I think i'm going to keep my response short and validate what i am hearing - "I appreciate you being open and honest with me about it. Would you like to talk about this?"

I think that's as good as response as any, although I'd let her broach the subject...

We have a meeting with our therapist and i expect her to say it, along with a lot of other things that follow the walk away wife script.

I just told mine that it wasn't about me...that she isn't in love with herself and then I just walked away. Of course she didn't like hearing that so I doubt anyone else should say that.
