My wife had an affair and said she wasnt happy and wanted a divorce. From what I have heard the affair is over, we are currently separated and now we agreed to talk on the phone and try to do something next weekend. She says there might still be a spark between us, she just wants to see for sure.
She still speaks of getting a divorce. She found out recently her father was diagnosed with prostate cancer and she has yet to find another job. I told her that I wanted to come see me, but she said she was not ready for that yet, sort of like she cant face me. Any suggestions

Patience. Let her do the pursuing. Meanwhile, work on yourself. Send her an occasional "thinking of you" or "hang in there" card, not mushy or long-winded, just a few thoughtful words. If you pursue too much, you could lose her. No "relationship" talks.
Also, go to the Marriage Coaching section of the site here. You could win your wife back and rebuild your marriage, but not if you act desperate and pathetic. You need a plan, and a marriage coach can help you with that.
