I have been following all of you for a long time. I have posted and gotten such great, great advice. I have determined that it will be best for me to just let my wife make her decision and live with it. I really believe that (you can see my earlier post) that the line is being drawn in the sand. I have decided to accept what ever decision she makes between her father and me. It can be no other way. I feel a since of peace coupled with trepidation. I read in someones post (i think mike or bill) where it was stated that "When I married my wife, it was because I loved her, not because she loved me" Touche! That is exactly how I am looking at this situation now. I will Plan A and work on myself and let the marriage succeed or fail on its own rather than through manipulation and medleying. I beleive there is a saying "If you set something free and it doesnt return, then it never was yours". I have set her free and it is the hardest yet most satifying thing I think I have other done, other than the day I met her. I will miss her but I wont give up. The way I see it, is I must let HER return. But I suppose the pain will eventually subside....I sure hope it does.....Thank you all....

Hang in there Rob. I am doing the same thing. We broke up before and I was the one to pursue in the past. That is the reason she is now ready to divorce me now...she wasn't ready. Now I have to leave it up to fate. I will never pursue her now. If she decides she wants to try again, she can find me. Otherwise, that's it.
