I'm really glad to have found this forum. I have so much to process still. So many questions, no good answers. I'm sure my wife isn't having an affair, but she's so fried from working nonstop for 8-9 months now that she's not thinking straight and I've become her whipping boy. Just before Christmas she dropped the separation bomb on me. I was and am still shell shocked but I thought we'd climbed out of it since mid-Jan when she said the fog had lifted, she didn't want to break up and "I don't know who that person was -- I was just going crazy!" From then until this past Sunday (April 1) we'd really reconnected. Tons of sex, lots of date nights, countless "I'm in love with you/were soulmates/etc" and an amazing vacation in Mexico only 10 days ago without kids where it was as if we were on our honeymoon again. Then last week things got really bad at her job and she snapped again saying she needs space and doesn't want to be married. She can't explain it, says nothing is wrong with me, she just wants to be alone. Says she's not ready for divorce but wants to move into our guest room and find a therapist for herself. She doesn't even want to work on our marriage at this point. She told her brother last night that we're likely separating, so it seems we're past the point of no return now. Thanks for listening, I'm a shell of myself, but following the awesome advice of you kind people on here is such a support.
