I guess one thing that keeps running through my head is Chuck's advice to leave the talk of separation alone. Just look for an apartment or have something lined up, that way if she brings it up I have something to show in the area of moving on with my life.

IIRC Chuck's advice was to just back way off, which I've been doing, spend lots of time with me kids, been doing that as well, and leave her to sort out this stuff in her head on her own, and I've been doing that pretty well too.

If I send her an e-mail about dividing assets it will lead into an R talk right now, I know that there will be no way to avoid that given the mental state she has been in the last few days as I've posted above. The other thing that goes through my mind is, who really knows what effect 2 more weeks of me doing what I've been doing could do in this regard. Would that be enough to make her reconsider the separation.

I like the idea of the LRT and telling her, 'here you go, your %, this is my %, I wish it could be different but this is what you want'.

I just don't want to jump the gun.
