2inlimbo I see from your sig that you`re separated. Have you told your kids that? Do your friends and family know?
I wonder about that as we too are living in the same situation as you and while I took off my rings last July and told H we were separating, he has not taken off his.He insists in fact, that he does not want to separate and doesn`t want anyone to know. My friends and family know but really I find this separated-but-not lie difficult to live from an honesty perspective too.
H won`t come to any functions with me so I go alone or with a friend. More of the separated-but-not stuff.
