Thanks for your kind words and advice,
My wife decided that it wasn't a good idea that we meet up for our anniversary (yesterday) as she said "we're both at different places right now". I sent her a card and some flowers and she sent me a txt message last night to say she got the flowers and to thank me for them.
From my point of view I think that I will just have to carry on doing what I am doing and then hope that in time she realises that I do love and care for her and that we can have a strong marriage and future together. I have been going to the gym, eating well and generally keeping active, infact i've lost a stone in weight and feel healthier than I have done in a while.
There have been lots of stresses on our relationship (Australia, work, etc) and I honestly think this councelling she had about her sister a few months ago has deeply affected her.
I have told her that I am not about to give up on her or our marriage and I am always here for her. Some of my family and friends have questioned how can I have my life on hold but she is my wife and I love and care for her and I think I owe it to her to show her how important she is to me.
If, further down the road, it seems like we are still not going to get back together, then I will deal with it. But she will have to be the one to instigate things. I am not going to be the person responsible for ending our marriage. Like Ricardo, I believe in my marriage vows and will honour them until the end.
