Was at work and my wife texted me to say hi. then proceeds to tell me "I have something important to tell you next time we talk"....... she says its about us.

I already know what it is; she doesn't want to get back together. she's made her mind up apparently. I know if it was good news she would have came right out and said it. obviously I was good enough to hold hands with 4 nights ago and that's it.

thanks for looking out for me everyone. I knew this was coming anyway. said she needed time to think.........well she only took a week.

and I carry on,

BC,

The problem is, every time SHE gets to call the shots and make this HER decision, she learns nothing. Even if this didn't go your way, had you stayed distant from her these past two weeks and let her stew in her own juices, and YOU would have set the conditions by which you MIGHT be willing to re-engage with her, then MAYBE she would have learned and grown.

That all being said, you're projecting. WHO THE HELL KNOWS what she's going to say -- she's all over the road. And so are you.

How did you respond to her text?

Feels good to be wrong for once. She just wanted to talk in person to express how awful she felt for getting involved with someone else. Must be weighing on her somewhat.

Anywho, when she said I want she wanted to talk about us, I told her the condition was when I was ready to talk, and it would be a mature conversation, and brief

Good answer. Next time don't be so FORTHCOMING with it tho. It's not your job to make her feel better about herself.

I am with you on being skeptical, but the fact that I remained faithful through all of this is taking a toll on her. She feels worse (outwardly) every day

If she can feel this way for several months, and see you NOT responding/rescuing her, and still maintain respect for you, there might be a chance here. I'd be willing to bet, however, that after just TWO WEEKS of you not responding to her crocodile tears, that she gets all vile and nasty on you again.

I could, of course, be wrong.
