Best you can do is to create an atmosphere where she has the best chance of seeing this. It's always hard to see this in our own sitches.

I see indications that you are considering Persute acceptable. Wrong

Pull back. DB but let your intentions be ambiguous. IMO she hasn't felt enough pain. Yes I said that. Reread what Sandi has said about real reconciliation. Simply going to IC is not enough. I agree she needs to go but like everything, there are no guarantees, no quick fixes. She has to want it more than her EA quick-fixes of late.
Right now she is behaving out of shock. So are you. This will change. Ws get good are throwing us off their trail. I have lived this for over a year now. Just as we can reduce pressure, there are things that they will do to reduce the pressure both on us and inturn on them. Don't fall for it.

Trust is going to be very difficult. What it will take, stands to be seen. Once again you are a long way from crossing that bridge.

Now you have 2 homes and a WW. Good behavior or not you are in a pile of poo. Make her pursue you. I know you can.


Well stated. Only complaint I have is that I'm not pursuing and not planning on it anytime soon. And she on trust, actually full trust may be impossible....... For a longgggggggggggggg time. I'm saying like 20 years.

I'm optimistically pessimistic, if that makes sense. I know she can fix it, but I don't know that she will.

Thanks again brother, appreciate the support, wisdom, and prayers.
