\My wife is going to leave me in 5 days--help!

[AFWAW]

well, I finally got a full night sleep without her here. She is supposed to come over to go through her stuff today and seperate it. She seems so depressed.

I had a talk with my daughter. Told her she was not gonna disobey me like she did her mom. She is gonna clean her room today as she cant even see the floor.

I honestly am just feeling blah right now. I have been working every single day for the last 7 months and with all this happening, I just don't know what to do with myself. I had intended to come back and do some things with my wife. I wonder how long I'll not be interested in anything at all till I get back in the swing of things again. What's the typical shock/mourning time?

The really only good thing that's come out of this is that I haven't done the typical return from deployment gourge and drink myself to death. I hear my stomach growling a lot but I'm strangely not hungry for the most part--really weird.

I'll keep listening for positive/hopeful comments like the wife gave last night about when she saw the bathroom and started crying that I probably wouldn't want her back when she was ready to come home. Little comments like that give me hope but I am trying not to be overly optimistic.
