I agree that it's a way of accepting reality by moving to forums that address the issues of the moment. Maybe I'll take the plunge and move to Separated.

I know you've been S for a while and I don't know what the division of labor was in your M, but I'm curious to hear how you handled that aspect. My H has been checked out emotionally for a long time, but still sharing lots of tasks with me--bedtime, bathtime, making dinner, cleaning up dinner, grabbing stuff we need on the way home, etc. My H will have the kids 3 days per week, so I guess that will reduce my load somewhat.
