Larry - Ahh pretty area (San Juan Capistrano). Too bad you aren't closer, I was thinking you and my dad are in such similar sitches and might have fun GALing a bit together (or at least commiserating).
GAL actually helps with regaining that balance. Sometimes you have to "fake it til you make it," but it does help.
Detaching is by far the hardest thing. It's more about detaching emotionally than physical distance, so just keep at it even with your office being there.
Yeah my H moved back after 3 months, although in hindsight it was a mistake and too soon. We're back on the rollercoaster now. I still have a lot of hope for us, but wish we'd taken more time apart and detached more fully (I know how crazy that sounds when you're so early in your own sitch).
You're really right to expect it to take a long time, glad you have that in mind already.
