Hello sschust:

I think I can field this one Michelle

Sschust, the only choice I think you have right now is to stop doing what you're doing. First of all, you're obviously going down a 'cheeseless tunnel'. Second of all, if what you're doing isn't working, stop it immediately.

You are pressuring your wife by calling and begging and crying - that behavior is probably what is making her run the other way. The only way she might choose to come back is if she feels that it is her decision made in her head.

Stop calling, stop crying, and stop begging. The only thing you can control right now is your behavior, so start focusing on making yourself the best you can be. Work on yourself. Focus on what you should be doing for yourself and forget about what she is doing.

I know that is incredibly hard...I struggle with that daily, but it DOES get a little easier. It also will take a little bit of anxiety off of you once you begin to take charge of yourself. Right now you feel helpless and powerless to change the situation. You CAN change yourself and the sooner you start the sooner you will begin to feel more powerful.

As Michelle says, this MIGHT not assure that you will get your wife back, but what you're doing now will almost assure that you won't. So instead of focusing on getting your WIFE back, concentrate on getting your LIFE back.

Michelle, please feel free to correct anything I've said that might be bad advice.
