The short answer is that it doesn't matter. WW. MLC. WAW. Any combination of the three. The answer is always the same: back off, remove all pressure and pursuit, focus on yourself. GAL like a madman. Get into IC and work on self-improvements to become the best version of yourself that you can be. Learn to detach your emotions (and therefore your reactions) from her words and deeds.

Some call that cookie-cutter. I call it the right approach. If LBSs would spend more time on the above and less time trying to diagnose their walk-away spouse, they'd be better off sooner. I know it is hard, I was where you were. I was convinced all of our problems were her having a MLC, or her SSRIs, or that I had behaved poorly (which I had). None of that changed GAL, self-improvement, and detachment.

Give us some more info on your situation. Lots of folks here have lots of relevant experience and the wisdom of hindsight. We can help you navigate the troubled waters and get to the other side healthy and happy regardless of the outcome.
