Thank you M for naming your thread after me,

I may not be the best person when it comes to giving advice to others as I´m still learning a lot but you are in good hands here. I would recommend reading as many threads as you can and read what for example Sandi has to to say about attraction. For a woman to feel attraction for her husband she needs to respect him.

She wants to end the marriage? Fine, she can move out. Why would you? But as Steve says, GAL like a madman. I didn´t GAL enough during our worst periods. Deep inside I still wanted to be close to my W and made excuses to be home, thinking I would push her away by leaving her be. If there is one thing I regret and would do differently, it´s to GAL much more and in your case I definitely wouldn´t move out. If she wants out of the marriage, let her do all the heavy lifting.

But read here as much as you can. I´ve read thousands and thousands of pages for about 10 months now and older threads have helped me a lot. They contain advice worth gold.
