Will

Putting your W first is admirable in a M but not now in your situation.

Your W had a EA at least, is on dating sites, looking how to have better sex and is kicking you out of your home. First and foremost you cannot connect with her now. It is impossible. She is not receptive. Secondly you should not even want to be with someone whilst they treat you this way. Truly work on your self image as a priority.

You cannot nice her back.

You have been here a long time. Reread the advice you have gotten.

You are stuck and will remain stuck until you do something about it. I like your last post. Keep going.

There is no magic wand that will turn this around. Stop looking for one. Forget about your W and changing her mind. Build a more fulfilling life for you and when that is achieved revisit what to do about W.

I am sorry you are going through this but the only way past this is to go through it. Start moving forward.
