Some direct advice/suggestions: Do not contact her in an attempt to change her mind. She has to come to that herself.

Your need/idea of getting rejected again, to see her again, that angry emotional person again - little good will come from that.

aph, you are figuring this out. Rationalizing what has happened and W’s behaviours. That is a daunting and difficult task when one’s spouse has/is behaving non-rationally and driven by emotions. Your efforts towards rationalizing is healthy forward progress.


great advice. my wanting to contact her has subsided as i know it would lead to more pain.
