Welcome comfortable. Sorry you are here, but glad you came.
When I first posted here, my post sounded a lot like yours. I hope everything you wrote is what your wife would write AND actually act. I say that because my ex said all of those things, but her actions were very different. Since this is new for you, please recognize it will take time, pain, suffering before you get to the other side. If you realize it is over, I would recommend focusing on yourself. (Like in a plane, place your mask on you first, then assist the person next to you so you both don't die).
You may find new things, come to new realizations yourself. You may find that you both can be the best of friends and remain close. I hope what happens for you is in your best and highest good.
I'm sorry you have to go through this. Give yourself the time to see all that has happened and pay most attention to actions, not words. Hang in there friend.
Second this. Time and space apart is really important for gaining perspective and if you want to redefine anything, you need it.
