Thoughts are welcome. But I'm starting to feel like I'm being a doormat and enabling her to have her cake and eat it too.
reframe,
Based on my own experience, as well as anecdotal evidence from this forum, I think the two-step process is the best approach to living your life and potentially reconciling with your wife (assuming that's what you want to do). The first step is to boot your wife out the door. The second step is move on with your life as a happy and confident guy.
Many of my cohorts disagree with me, but such is life.
