One for guys who have been married at least 5 years and actually love their wife... What would you do?

Question

Let's say your wife has been upset with the marriage for over a year, and after not getting anywhere with communicating, even after trying all recommended communication skills by the Gottman institute (honestly they are the best) she moves into another room, and is on a waiting list for a house. She says she wants you to organise marriage counseling as that's the only way she will stay with you because the issues keep going unaddressed and you both know you need external help.
How long would you go with your wife sleeping in another room, without bothering to get the help your marriage needs?
Genuine question. Please only give genuine replies.

The day she moved into another bedroom I would consider myself as having been abandoned and I would file for divorce.  I would NOT sound needy and pathetic on Y/A.

Get some coaching; do it for yourself, for while marriage does take two, if you know what to do, she may well grow to love you again. Email me.

The time to get insurance is before the house is burning. The wise time to get marriage counseling is before one is already to head out the door. So sooner rather than later seems to be the wisest move.

Pretty much a lost cause, but 
I would, as she has requested, 
organize marriage counseling. 
I don't get why you'd need some 
kind of 'how long' to figure this out.

if i was a guy i might not stay with her
