Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I'm sorry to be here too but, you know what, I'd rather be here than continuing to live the life I have been leading. I sometimes wonder how or if I will DB once this is done. I guess it's too far in the future right now, I have to get through getting an agreement with her. At least she has agreed to separate and is willing to have a written agreement. I was concerned that she would just say "if you want to leave, then leave" and I'd be stuck without a separation agreement. If that had happened, there would be no way i'd walk out that door and leave myself open to all sorts of legal and financial sh!t. So, right now, I believe we can do this properly. I told her I wanted our decisions to be based on what is best for our children (of course, having two loving parents in the same home would be the best option!) and I set timelines that would allow for thoughtful decisions to be made. I've tried to be mature and loving through this, hard to do when your emotions are jumping all over the place. Well, enough for tonight. Later new neighbours!
