I could have written a lot of your first post. All these situations rhyme.
James Dobson wrote Love Must Be Tough - he is with Focus on the Family and some of the book helped me wrap my head around the fact that if a spouse leaves us, we will not be held accountable. That was a big deal for my mindset. 1 Corinthians 7:15 - I think this passage gives you a degree of clearance to go and live in peace. Consider getting that book at the library to skim through.
A book that my counselor referred to me (I go every other week and though I don't like it, I think its healthy when dealing with this situation) was Heartbreak, Mourning, Loss by Ginette Paris. Its short and quick and helped me understand the stages of heartbreak I was going through and began to give me tools to work through it.
My divorce will be final 2/28/2022. I've got two kids caught in the middle and I'm 43. If you WAW is gone, consider finding a way to make peace with it.
And funny enough, the only way to possibly get her back is to move forward.
Thank you for the book recommendations. And my conscience is clear before God. I will check them both out. But yea, it does seem like the best path forward is to move on.
