Let your wife work hard to win you back. If you can hold on for 2 years, then do it. If she says she loves you, do not respond with I love you, just keep your silence. I have realized from my own relationship and from others, if your partner is not invested or has not invested, they are easy to leave or look somewhere else. If you want her to stay in the relationship, play it smart, you now have the upper hand.
Forced your wife to decide what she want but make sure that her decision is an established decision and not a rebound relationship or perhaps because the OM is no longer an option and you are the only option left. Let her drool for 2 years, play hard to get, so next time she looks somewhere else, she will think hard on all the investments she has placed on your marriage.
We have twice serious R talks since she said she was done with OM.
First time, she asked me if I will give her a chance to make it up. I don't have to believe her now just take a look at her. Don't be cold but be friend with her and consider about getting back together again. That was all she want. I told her, it might take a very long long time and it might not be the same. she said, she is willing to wait and thanks me for that.
Second time, 2 months later, she said she wants to know if I still have love left. She doesn't want to start over like we are stranger and wish for love to happen. If I have love just a little bit, let start from there, build love from whatever has left not from none. She said that I don't have to believe her but what happen with her make her realize that she still love me very much and no one can replace me. She want us to hold hands, kiss, make love again because all that make her happy and she knew that will make me happy too. So why not start from there. She want me to come stay at home when the condo's contract is over in June. She is hurry building the new house. Trade her car that she drove with OM. She is working very hard to earn it. I know that she will get tired some day if I'm not appreciate and one day she will quit. I ask myself if my daughter who I love very much did something that unforgivable will I forgive her. I think I will because I love my daughter unconditional. I might give my wife another chance and I will love her unconditional because this is the best I can do to my family.
Since, I can't post from my phone anymore, I might not be able to post very often. I don't want my wife to find out these conversations. However, I will check back from time to time. I deeply appreciate every help from here. I wish you all have a good fortune on the path you decide to take.
