I didn't say your wife terminated the marriage. Only a judge can do that. Your wife, however, has deserted you. She has abandoned the marital relationship. She left the home or apartment where the both of you were legally domiciled. She left and and set up a new place of residence to which you do not have a key. You are her husband, but you are not a member of her household. What she's done is extremely decisive. But I misspoke if it sounded like I was saying that she's made an irrevocable move. Marriage is a legal contract. Right now, your wife is in default with respect to fulfilling her obligations, as a wife. That's what I meant by saying she has ended it. But it's not for me to say that she couldn't have a change of heart tomorrow, or next month, or next year. If you want to leave the door open for the possibility of that happening, you have every right to do that.
