Brief phone conversation with wife after she did not respond to email I sent. No, not persuing - sometimes she has troubles getting emails via her blackberry.

She is still planning on coming home tomorrow night after spending day shopping with d18. I told her I would likely be sleeping before they get home and will sleep in another room, since she would likely enjoy sleeping in her own bed after sleeping elsewhere for 9 nights. She did say that she is sick of living out of her car.

Anyway...in the days since she walked out August 26, I have begun to come to terms with our marriage ending. Physically being apart makes detaching easier and more natural.

When we have the scheduled R talk on Sunday I plan on proposing the following: we live as a separated couple for the next 8-9 months for financial reasons and also to make the transition easier on the kids. Our house is large enough and our schedules differ enough for us to co-habitate with very little contact. I will even give up our incredibly comfortable bed.

That will allow me that period of time to detach further and work on me. We can then sell the house, and start our new lives fairly smoothly. I hope she agrees to this idea. It is quite reasonable, workable and economically smart.

If something changes drastically in that period, then so be it. But, if not, I am actually ready to move on with MY life.
