morgan, thanks for giving me the possibility that this separation might help, because boy I think its going to make things worse. H is deadset on thinking that I will 'have it all' when he's gone, so I fear serious bitterness will set in, driving him farther away. I hope to be surprised.
Thanks for the advice on the kids. I think that's a great approach. And yes, pre-bomb, things were so tense around here, NO ONE enjoyed family activities together. We are better now about it. And yes, H is an amazing father, very involved, could raise them on his own if he had to. There will be lots of calls, contacts, etc. He is going to have just a hard of time being away from them as me.
Your day sounds good. Sometimes no contact for the whole day can be good, right? Plus a baby fix? Oh yeah!! YUMMY.
nephartiti, those little milestones. SIGH I told H the other night that if we separate/divorce, I will miss parenting with him, sharing ALL the little things like that.
