6 months ago my wife shared her desire for freedom and that she loves me but isn't in love with me... after 26 years. We still live in the same house. She leaves for the weekends. In short order I learned to calm things into respectful very brief passing conversations. She in essence does her own thing in the house during the week. We share dinner together and occasional passings.

Many life events helped elevate matters (death of my parents, empty nest, two of her friends leaving their long time souses...). In essence I became complement in our relationship... i see that now

I am not naive enough to think she isn't having an affair, but choose not to raise the issue at this time.

I feel a stalemate in things and hope is waning. However I am committed

I am fairly well versed in matters of re-attracting, DB'ing, pursuit-distancing, 180 etc, any insight is welcome
