LUMPY,
I think you just need to tell her ONCE that you love her and want to work on the marriage but that you are going to back off and give her the space she needs and then do so. Let her know that a divorce is not what you want, tell her you don't want to put pressure on her, that you will wait a while but not forever. Then don't contact her again until she contacts you. Just my opinion.

Almost

I agree with 'Almost There'. Don't appear needy or desperate to have her back. tell her you love her, tell her you want to try and save your M and leave it at that. Let her make the next move.
