Now, we are into lawyers and separation proposals, and I don't want any part of the legal finality.


Ugh. Had you been posting back then, everyone would have told you NOT to move out. It rarely, if ever, works to score you points, and if anything it loses you respect.

I agree with SG that the depression is probably what you should focus on right now, plus DETACHING COMPLETELY. It's not easy, but it can certainly be done. The other thing I would suggest is to resist your urge to RESCUE her -- that seems to be a history with you.

Keep posting.
