So I have been married for 12 years and been unhappy for a very long time.  We get along but I do not love her the way I should.. a couple of months ago I met someone else and we have fallen madly for each other.. we want a future together. I have filed for divorce and moved out. Now that it seems this gs are getting serious she is pulling back.. told me she needs me to step back so she can see if she wants to make thi gs work with her husband. It's important to her that she leaves him because she is unhappy and not because she met someone else..  now I told her I will wait for her to make that decision, but am I fool for thinking  she will come

It is frustrating you took a step forward and she is not ready to make the move......

It can depend on many things... for example if she has kids/ or finance concerns   to make her afraid of what she may lose.   I too had a friend we are both in unhappy relationships and yet when i proposed meeting up as we were long distance and  just did video meets ... they became very skittish about letting go of all they had in their world....  besides finances they had family and friends who may not have understood.... even us in unhappy situations when we stay and then finally make the move... people can be skeptical because they thought things were OK if you stayed.
