Johanna:

What a great post. Thank you. I am going dark, so to speak. I call her once a day to tell her that I am thinking of her, and that I hope she's having as good a day as I'm having. That's all I say to her. I left her that message this morning at her office, and have not heard from her since. She said that she wanted space, and that if she didn't call me, I shouldn't feel afraid, and vice versa. She also asked me to have a little faith in her that she wants to work this out, and keep the marriage. I am an observer of actions, though, and her actions seem to say she wants to slowly dissolve away. What do you think?

Last week, I asked for her forgiveness about my past misdeeds, and all she can say is that she'll have to forgive me if we're going to continue together. I know that I can forgive her.

I am trying to set up an appointment with a therapist, but am having a hard time getting a time slot. Will probably be next week, but the wife is open to it. The job is going very well. It's a great gig, and I'm having fun and proving myself daily. Thank goodness I'm not unemployed during this emotional period.

How are you doing, Johanna? I hope you're doing better than I am. Give me an update on your life. I'd love to hear it.
