David if I am not mistaken you said that you had started counseling a few weeks back. If this is the case it would appear that you have been seeing the wrong person or your wife is trying to make a good case for not leaving you. Either way I would find a competent therapist ASAP!!!
Yesterday you mentioned your past TRAUMA as a child and controlling behavior if this is true you need to get it out and deal with it. You mentioned talking to your pastor that's a start but most men of the cloth do not have the back ground, education or life experience "the tools" to adequately diagnose a problem. I do wish you well but this separation is not working out for you as you can see. If she believes you have a controlling personality it is going to hurt but you may have to just give her some space to show you can change. See a pro, we are pulling for you but just talking about it here just isn't going to get it done.
