My wife and I are going through Legal Sep.. We are working together well with it. I have sent in my proposal, but don't think it has been filed yet. I think the big issue with making it legal, is money. Her financial sitch is bad right now, and we live in sperate households.
We have been seprarated for about 9 months now.
Initially I thought she was in the wrong, but as time went by, I hve come to realize that she needed to get away from me as I had gotten really angry at her and really screamed.
I don't agree with the legal separation, but find it was beneficial for both of us to be separated for a time.
As I have grown, I have changed. She has commented on my positive changes, but still she persists in keeping somewhat distant, and still pursuing the LS.
I have been trying to back off, and giving her space. Recently stopped being lovey as well.
Compliments are offered once in a while, but most of my comments of love and praise go to our children. One thing of high importance is my relationship with them. And now I am working on that, as I have neglected my relationship with them over the years.

Have so much to say, as this has been going on for almost a year, and even more, including the EA that happened online a year ago in the late winter / early spring.
That was a huge thing that really broke my heart! Hope to post later.

thanks to all who share in our common pain.
