Dev,

I would ask her if she would want to stay if there were no more conversations? My WW is finally starting to come around 4 months after the A ended and 6 weeks after last contact. You need to not talk about your R/M for several months.

I tried that last night and she just smiled in a "yeah right" kind of manner. She said she feels very pressured coming home and dreads seeing me even, she hates feeling guilty one day, and hatred another day towards me.

On my part, I don't know if I want her to be home, but yet totally ignore me and act as though I were not her husband. Like having someone stay at home who treats the home like a hotel.

What are the chances of my marriage surviving if she were to stay home vs. her moving out? Maybe I need a dose of reality.. 2x4's welcome also

Just took a peek at her mobile phone while she's sleeping. Seems like her mind is made up.. her friends expressed concern and support for her, asking if she's told me and how did i take it. Anyway, its goodbye pretty soon.

I can't seem to change the thread title on the first thread anymore, the option to 'edit' is gone. Should I start a new thread?

Thanks still... I've started a new thread since i can't seem to edit the title anymore for this.

Really appreciate you guys being here. Not sure if it just hasn't sunk in yet, but I'm strangely enough ok with this, else maybe I've grown up and realized I can't control what she does, only my own actions? Now, that's an interesting thought! :P
