Hello all, I will make this short, my wife told me on 5/29 that she ILYBNILWY. she has never said she wants a divorce just that she was not happy and wanted to see an attorney. I suspect she was cheating but after an doing my own investigation concluded she is not (yet). We have had sex 3 times since she said she wanted out but just recently said that she wants to stop.

She has said that I need to back off and her answers about where we stand are always "I dont know".We havve been together for 26 years. I worked way too much and she felt left out. We are living in the same house and things are pleasant meaning evven today I was carrying water in the front door and she helped me.

I completely backed off and started doing evverything I had done prior to her telling me and now she seems like we are getting back to normal.

My real question is this, how often is this triggered by someone cheating. When she started to get all dressed up for work I did talked to her and she said she wanted to look good.

any advise would be greatly appreciated.
