I was just asking about the separation because if you ask him to leave....you have to be prepared that he will do just that. I initially asked H to leave and he left for a couple of days (stayed at a hotel), then came back because he had nowhere to go. He was home for about a week and then left for good. I was asking...ok begging...him to stay that time. (found somewhere to stay, he and OW rented a house together!)
When he was gone and I got over the initial shock, it was so much better. I simply could not detached. If he wasn't home, I was out looking for him...wow, I have come a long way. When he left I was finally able to let go.
Enough about me, my point is, we have all been there and it does get better.
Your GAL list is great!! Exercising can help you take out some of the frustration and also help you sleep so I highly recommend that. The garden and scrapbooking sounds like fun. Staying busy keeps your mind off of things a little.
