Hey Jeff... wow.. I am amazed but, so relieved to hear you are ok. You always suspected she was worried about the practicalities of the situation (ok, lets call it that, and not say its money!). Well done for being brave and facing it square on this time, not letting her wriggle out of being honest, seriously.
Sounds like you had a VERY reasonable and pragmatic, sensible, unemotional discussion... and as I was reading your description, thats what struck me.. that it has come to be at that level... perfunctory, pragamatic, practical and other words begimning with P, but not... PASSIONATE. No and like Kalni says, you will be like a butterfly emerging once you do meet someone you can have a PM with one day maybe.
I guess it will be hard to tell the children, but then like you say, they will probably not be too surprised and maybe even a little relieved for you both.. the atmosphere cant have been very warm at times between you and they will have noticed that.
OH.. and you are NOT a failure !!!! You tried really hard, you just cant legislate for someones feelings changing over time, that doesnt make you a failure, you tried and really hard.. that just makes you human.
Lastly.. sorry to be a nerd, but I was thinking of you yesterday when we were all saying, just confront her.. cos of course it was that eclipse last night, very much of one of endings and new beginnings. I've seen a few stories already of things being at an end yesterday. Interesting she said she would like to move by July, as that is when the next solar eclipse is. Anyway, apologies for being nerdy.
I'm also always here for you, you have been so kind and supportive to me, there were times this time last year where I dont know what I would have done without your calm soothing advice! I am sorry you're marriage seems to be coming to an end, but I guess you are being set free and that has to be happening for a reason and can only be a good thing. (and as a nerdy astrologer geek, I can tell you, eclipses shunt you onto the right path in life..whether you like it or not)
