Can any good come out of giving W some "space"

[HHIF]

I moved out too because she needed space and was going to move out if I didn't,thought it best for kids if she stayed in house with them.

Some good can come out of it and did for me,you have to back off of her and focus on you,she is going to do what she is going to do.I used the time to read and pray allot and give her time and space to focus on her and what she was doing instead of worrying about R talks.

Little by little as I backed off,stopped calling or emailing she would call me and ask me over for dinner,breakfast on weekends etc.I just became her friend and didn't force R talks.

I am now back home and we still have a long way to go but at least we are under the same roof and getting along well as friends,but if I had kept forcing R talks and pushing her we would be divorced already.
