SSGA - another one of my big obstacles is patience. I am a 'get it now' type of person so waiting this out and waiting for him to notice things is going to kill me. He said that IF I were able to fix this it would take a long time. So, I made mention of something in re: to next year early on in this separation and he comment that this would not be going on in a year. I guess a mans view and a womans view of a long time are different?
britt - Our stories are very similar. I also have a birthday to attend this weekend for his side of the family. It is refreshing to hear you had some baby steps going for a while. I so hope you can get back there. It is easier for me and the kids because they have always slept in our bed. I think this was a small part of me and the H growing apart though. I have considered moving them to their own beds, but with him gone they are a comfort to me.
I am going to see him in a bit because I have to work tonight and he is taking my daughter to gymnastics. So, I am to act cordial, not hug or 'I love you", and just get on with getting ready for work? The sad thing is, this is how we have been interacting for some time now. The 'ILY" has been sporadic as well as the physical touching. For our relationship, a 180 would have been incorporating that back in but I guess not now that it is a separation? Advice?
