I'm trying not to operate from fear. I don't know what the game plan is though.

I'm not bring it up but if she does I will answer honestly. Probably too honestly.

I don't want one. I truly feel its the wrong way to go right now. It may be right at some time in the future. I won't bend. I regret agreeing to the separation, leaving my w and d's. She wants me to sign papers to take me off the lease. WTH can I do? Visiting the apt now and watching w in pain from medical stuff.

I should pretend I'm fine with it. I'm showing my best side and avoiding r talk as it makes us both upset. Being appreciative and affectionate and all the stuff I should have been and hoping it will eventually register. What more? Can't be the tough guy because that's what helped put me in this sitch.

W is still distant but let's me be comforting. That is a small step...
