I am sorry but now you know why NC is a must. Talking to her about how you feel just gives her ammunition to fight against you. She will and can accept her wrong doings you won’t change that.
By her email IMHO you can see the next
She is experiencing what is called “rationalization” or “hamster rationalization“. In a few words is what cheaters do to rewrite in their heads how the marriage to justify the A. was
She cannot rewrite the facts of the marriage but is rewriting the way she felt all of this is years. This is BS!!! You can read about it on the wayward side, how WS felt that the marriage, BS, etc. were way much worse than they really were.
Other thing, of course is about OM, the rush, etc. but she won’t admit it!!!
She is trying to justify her affair, that why, besides the rationalization, she is blaming you for the whole pain she is, that you had caused her such suffering because you don’t love her anymore!!! Fantasy land is fading and she can sense it…
Her email hurts like hell, even how irrational and delusional as it is, because she knows you and knows how to manipulated you, the thing is that her manipulation tactics are working like they used to so she is putting more pressure. It is normal she where you are weak and is going to use it.
Other thing, I believe it is all about OM because from what I have read, when the WS is not in love with the BS they don’t justify or fight, and AP is plays a secondary role and even despaired as they know is not about him. This is not your case!!!
You should really slap her into reality by getting her serve. But hold no hope that she will come back to you, sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t, better expect the worse.
I believe you lose your hope. I think you were doing all this hoping she will wake up; the thing is that for saving your marriage you need to be willing to lose it and even then not always work.
IMHO you should send her and email informing her how things will work from now on, something like:
“WW:
You know what you did and the consequences of it. You made your mind and chose your way. Please put on your big girl panties and stop blaming me. There were other ways if you were so unhappy, there was no need to lie, deceive and betrayed. Even after first kiss with OM you should have ask me for D… You know what you did very well.
I won’t bother you any more with my feelings and I demand the same from you from now on.
I will file for D and I wish we can make it easy and fast for all of us sake. Despite the circumstances I will not mention you Affair in the petition as I don’t want to fight you anymore, even it would be more beneficial for me, all I want is the D done.
Keep son out of this mess, I will, he is a fine young man and deserves from you and from me. He knows all my wrong as well as yours; he is an adult now and has his own thought about all this mess.
From now on I will any communicate with you by email and text and only about Son and D matters.
You will be served in the next days, I am telling you not to bother but to let you know I got nothing to hide, no second agendas and to show you that I want this process to be civil and amicable.
