Now is not the time to sulk, she has given you an oportunity, embrace it. No more pleading not to do this. Has she given you any papers? What can we do this weekend?
Burt
Sulking has done me not one bit of good ever since this thing started months and months ago! Could you expand on just what opportunity she has given me Burt? Maybe I'm standing knee deep in the river and dying of thirst...but I just don't see it from where I am right now! I'd like to embrace this 'opportunity'...whatever it is. Seriously...I'd appreciate your help...and anybody else's too! I haven't been pleading...I did ask her in a calm voice to please reconsider before taking that final step. No, she has not given me any papers. This weekend I'm scheduled to work 7a-7p on both Saturday and Sunday in the ER. Today I'm going to Home Depot to get some flowers for our flower beds here at the house. I'll start planting them if the rainy weather lets up. There is lots of housework to do too! I'm glad I'm working...the kids are out of town with her for the weekend...don't know what I'd do if I weren't working this particular weekend!
I want for some time to pass, without me having any, and I mean any, contact with her at all! And I hope she doesn't file for divorce during that time. Maybe I'm wrong...but the passage of time without anything bad happening feels better to me.
I feel pretty numb...not sure if it's a protective mechanism or what! Man, I just feel like I'll spend the rest of my life by myself right now.
