Davide, it's hard to dig yourself out of depression when you're alone. You're good at writing about how you feel. You're clearly a talented writer. What's your plan with your wife? Are you planning to give her time and space and wait to see if she returns? I guess in some way you'd almost have to change radically for your wife to stop and take notice. The momentum with my husband changed when I packed up and moved to another part of the country to start over. Not that it fixed things but suddenly he was nice again and started calling and coming more often. It's a bit different though when you don't have kids - there's nothing forcing you to stay in touch. Having a dog together is similar but perhaps with less legal and financial issues in the event of divorce. I see your wife is a bit younger than you. Do you think that had an effect on her decision to leave? For example her feeling she's still young and wants to go out and explore and try new things whereas you're more ready to settle down?
