Please reply to this post if you can. Nutshell update: Separated since January 2009.
I have been working on getting a life, and I am generally not miserable that she is gone, I miss my kids when they are gone (we share custody of them).
Wife and I are talking again but, she is not wanting to end separation. I have some patience for this but I will only wait so long.
Wife's female friend is a near constant companion. Wife and her female friend watch movies together, go out together, play sports together, etc.
I do not have a problem with my wife having friends, and even really close friends, but I feel this "friend" has become more than a friend to my wife. I am not implying anything sexual, because wife's friend is "happily" married herself.
I feel that my wife's close friendship is hindering our reconciliation, and probably contributed to our separation.
Please reply to this post if you can with any suggestions.
