6. I want my W to not have me as the excuse for her unhappiness. Really, I view a separation as the only hope for us to have a chance at a new R sometime in the future. She needs to be on her own for a while to understand who she is and also to appreciate all I have done for her over the years.
Hi SuperDad -- I know how hard it is to be seperated from the people that we love. I agree that this seperation might just be the thing that W needs. Allowing them to find out whether they want me in their lives, without me telling them that they do is the only choice I have. I don't believe that the contributions we made in our M's can be unappreciated as time apart goes by. As someone wise once told me -- "There is one past, but many possible futures."-- and acting unselfishly can only seen as a positive influence toward the the future that I think we'd both like. I'll see you here in "Seperated -- What ..." its been almost 6 mths for me so perhaps its also time I moved over.
