I am done and have set her free.

Tonight I sat her down and said the following:
“This isn’t working for me anymore. I would have preferred to work things out, but I realize that’s not what you want. I respect myself too much to continue waiting for someone that doesn’t want to be with me. I have decided to move forward with my life. Hopefully we can come to an agreement on custody and finances and make this process as simple as possible.” I then handed her the asset list.

She only said “ok” in an accepting tone.

I said “I gotta go.” She said “ok” again and I walked away.

I remained calm and strong throughout looking her in the eye. Not surprisingly it didn’t seem to phase her one bit. She is still so deep in affair fog. This is what she wanted. I love her enough to give her what she wants. I am done remaining in an open marriage. I stood for almost a year. My kids will know I tried to do the right thing. So that’s it, the end of my marriage. My fight is over, I have let her go.
