Separated

I thought I would post what has been going on the last few days. My W and I started our nesting arrangement this week. I am out of the house from TH-Su. She was out Tu-W. I have been busy GALing with my martial arts training and spending time with friends. I have went dim which is to say I DO NOT ever initiate a phone call, text, chat. So yesterday she gmail chats with me saying how she misses the kids terribly after only two days. Next week she is out of the house all week except Wed. Although I do not want to get my hopes up I mentioned counseling yesterday in the gmail chat and she responded positively to the request. To my surprise she said she would attend and asked for the phone number. I am still going to be dim, as I have the rest of the weekend to myself. I will be working out and hanging with friends. My self esteem has really improved and I feel much better since GALing. I don't know if it was a mistake or not to mention the counseling but she did respond in a positive manner. I think next week will be hell for her being out of the house for a week without the kids. Maybe the counseling is coming at the right time, hopefully it is not too soon. Thanks for all the replies.
