Jeff,
I understand how you feel. You have to do what is right for you. The walking on egg shells isn't easy and yes, you can then relax in your own home and not worry about what you say or do aruond her. She may need to be out on her own in order to face reality. You've been very good to her and she needs to actually "miss" what she's had all along...a good husband.

Take care.


Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
