Again, I cant give an unbiased answer. As you said, this is divorce busting. She is asking for a separation. Whatever happens during that time, you spend that time working on yourself as DB says. In the end, you will endure. Speculating will eat you up. I have been there! Done the DB don'ts and do's. I've been to close to the situation and it ruled all my time mentally. I havent re-read the book in a while but act as if your life has gone on. Dont say "ok" to this idea of dating and you'll be waiting. Tell her you need some time too and you'll decide while she is away. Thoughts?
