Lost,

I to find it hard to believe there isn't someone else. I'm skeptical of someone just quitting like that after a year unless they have some outside interest. And I agree with you that it would be preferable.

You already got the advice you need. Quit contacting her....I mean cut it off entirely. If she truly wants to be friends or if she gets curious about you, she'll call. If she hasn't contacted you in a couple weeks, then give her a call. You really do need to look closely at your own life. How could it be better? How could you be better? What would make life more complete? Then start doing stuff to get a life. Make yourself happy.

The choice to try on this marriage is entirely hers. You can't convince her of anything with words. You barely could with action. She will have to decide that herself and she might be influenced to try again if you have your act together, are confident, happy, and complete all by your lonesome. This doesn't have to be the worst time of your life. It can be a wonderful opportunity for growth, improvement, and exploration, free of considering the needs of your spouse.

What do you think caused all this?

Agree that you will get more traffic in Newcomers and more frequent support.
