For the Guy with Kids and a WW4

H4H

I think I too would have had difficulty not hugging. Although after the convo I had with WW on Sat night (yes, the D word came up as well), not hugging was a good thing.

I know what you mean about not losing your friend, but you also said you would not want things to get ugly; however, do things have to get worse before they get better? Nobody necessarily wants that, but how about the approach saying "you do not want this (D), you want to stay and ask her to do same BUT that the latter is up to her"? Yes, I did this on Sat night, but had received the advice from elsewhere. She could not blame me anymore - she had her freedom if she wanted (which would and still could be the "worse" I mentioned above). Although we slept apart for most of Sat night, back in same bed Sun. What does this have to do with your sitch - only saying that even the bleakest moments will pass and open up yet another day.

Keep up your spirits H4H, as best you can.
