I can fully understand that she can't see a future, but she has shown that she didn't want to work towards a future - unless of course it was just with me. Her future was probably her job, being made Partner at the law firm where she works. That's probably all she wanted after all, even though she led me to believe otherwise.

I understand that she has left for good and that's it now. The relationship is over and I have to come to terms with that. I know that now.

There is not one example that I can find where this has happened for somebody else twice like this and the relationship has gone on to be successful. Most of the examples and rhetoric in DR is focused on marriages where the people are still living together and they notice the changes and the work that their S is doing. I know not where my wife is. I don't see her or hear from her. I can't stop thinking when we got together and she left her boyfriend, she didn't mention him once and she went all-out in our new life without a second thought. They had been together 4 years, us 19. So she would probably be doing this again with somebody else, just push me aside and carry on with her life without a second thought. It's so horrible thinking like this, but it seems that this is now my reality.

If there was any type of chance we could somehow start to mend this situation, I would be up for the discussion. But almost 5 weeks on and with Divorce proceedings looming over our heads, I fear that it's now time to say goodbye and it's the last thing I want to do.

It's so awful to think she has just ran without a reason or a discussion. Typical WAW and/or SAS.

I am still dreading her response to my lawyers letter. Part of me hopes that she will reach out wanting to change things, but the realistic part of me knows that she will say to go ahead and divorce for adultery. She boxes up her emotions and she feels nothing.
