She apparently thought she could move out of a 11 year R, immediately start sleeping with another man, jump into a relationship there, and still cherry pick the parts of our R that she wanted.
Typical WW tactics. My wife was saying she was getting a job and her own place, and that she wanted to continue being "a family". "I'll have you over for dinner." "I'll keep a key to the house so I can help with the dogs and going and getting our D from school." "We can still go with each other to our extended family's events." Etc.
Meanwhile she was trying to meet as many younger guys online that she could. Cherry pick the parts she wanted is EXACTLY right. That's why DBing works. It destroys their delusions. When they see you moving on, letting go, and the reality that you aren't going to allow things similar to what I quoted above, then they start to have second thoughts. If you are weak and give into their ideas because you think appeasement works, then you will fail.
Appeasement never works. In foreign policy nor in domestic policy. People respond to strength.
