Hey Salty, sorry that you are going through this tough time. Whilst our situations are identical, there are some things that do resonate with me. It sounds like you’ve come earlier than I did. Read the rules, listen to the advice, even when you don’t want to, it will help.

I too used acts of service to show my love but what was needed was words of affirmation and quality time. My W, could not for the life of her see how the nice things I did was me showing her love.

I’m no vet here, but I do know that so far what has helped, is not deciding whether you want her back or not, but accepting that what you had is gone and the rest is out of your control. Work on what you can control...yourself, it will be the best investment you make.
