Ovrrnbw, it's odd that your WW feels such a need to communicate when she's the one who walked away from the marriage. These wayward spouses are such hypocrites. I really do hope she ends up in a one bedroom apartment in a shitty relationship that ends quickly with no job or money. That's what she deserves. Whatever second chances you were willing to give her she's dwindling those away. It seems she's kind of realizing that which is why she keeps calling. She's starting to lose and you're starting to win. In some ways this is how you know if the other person will come back - if they seem to care when you stop caring. In my husband's case he doesn't care but your wife definitely notices and cares.

That's awesome you met a woman you can see yourself pursuing. You're young. You're still in the age range where people are getting married for the first time and starting out their lives and having kids. It's so easy for you at this age to move on compared to when you're older with kids. This is a huge blessing. You seem like a smart guy.....I can't remember if you're in the one in NYC but if you are there should be plenty of options there. Maybe the smoking hot girl is your future wife.

There seems to be a window of opportunity for each wayward or walkaway spouse to return and once that window closes it's too late forever. I hope your wife thinks deeply. It seems her time is limited.
