Thanks for the kind words, seesaw. Just another story, if I may: 3 days ago I reminded her that a few days into this whole thing I told her that I would be open to her "going through this" if she promised to keep it to emails and calls and no physical contact. At that early time in this hell she said that she couldn't rule out the physical contact. When I brought that up 3 days ago she said that she would be willing to try that.

I said that it's too late.
