Good luck. I do hope this works out well for you. I hope the reality of separation is much worse for your wife than she imagined it to be. I once talked seriously about separating from my husband. It all sounded good to me until one night when we were making plans for it and I started hyperventilating. I just couldn't breathe! That was the only time in my life I've hyperventilated. So I took it as a sign, and never suggested the idea again. I hope your wife has an equally negative reaction.
