So today is the one year anniversary of having the bomb dropped on me while vacationing with my W in Hawaii. In some ways I cannot believe it has already been 1 year and in other ways it seems like an eternity has passed by since then.
I continue to be stubborn and refuse to move out of the house since I am not the one who violated the marriage vows. I realize that I am being nice in not throwing her out, but I just can't do that to our girls (rightly or wrongly). However to anyone thinking about living together but separated like this, I don't really recommend it. In our situation, it has to a certain extent caused both of us to think less of each other. It is hard living with someone who you love but refuses to show any outward signs of caring, interest or affection towards you. The only good thing we are doing together is saving money like crazy so that when we do officially separate we will both have an adequate supply of cash to set up two separate households.
