Thank you for the reply. I wanted to give a few more details and after reading this I would appreciate it if you could let me know if your advice still applies (I hope so!)
On Friday before her retreat, she did mention that she’d “see how she felt” after the retreat, and for me to do the same. I agreed.
This morning when we talked on the phone she said (basically word for word): “i need to be alone (single) for a long time, to concentrate on my kids and my goals. I need to be single and not worry about any relationship or thinking that someone is waiting for me. This weekend I realized that I’ve been bad for all of these years”
This to me doesn’t sound like she wants to take time to work on her issues and come back. But would you say your advice still applies? I do know that things could change in an instant and I feel as though right now she believes that this is the right choice but once she starts missing me she might come around.
