Hi Kiro - thanks for your insight - my wife is leaving and will do so as soon as she has found a place.
She says she needs to do this to find herself; apparently for years she has been the shy wife just doing what she feels is right, but now she has found her confidence and knows what she truly wants....and that is to go and live alone.
"About the script, my W even told me before leaving that she knows she could be happy in our marriage if she tried to work on it, but that she consciously decides not to do that because she has changed and this is not what she wants."
I've heard exactly the same. Word perfect. My w said she hasn't worked on the marriage because its not what she wants. I asked her what she wants and she said she didnt know !!
My expectations are well and truly at zero - I don't expect my wife to return - whilst she communicates quite coherently, I expect deep down she is in a dark place; lost and confused.
My wife is a great mother. I hope that continues.
I have to love from a distance, detach and look after me. Be a lighthouse.
