The ball is now in her court Mike. I had to get the ball rolling because I knew she would just sit back and allow the days to pass without doing anything. By me initiating this process it has forced her to start thinking about the trial separation and hopefully add to the agreement that I started. I need her input so we can have a working agreement before I move out.
As I stated I don’t think she thought I was serious. Our talk on Sunday was an eye opener for her. What she does from here is not my concern I hope that she seeks help for her issues and continues to read the books she took from my night stand but I cannot make her do any of that.
I plan on talking to her again this weekend about the separation agreement. And Bridge I understand what you are saying about time with the kids and her dealing with an empty house but I must think of their best interest in this aspect. Unfortunately there is only two of us in this office to make it run and getting in late to get the kids off to school and home early to get them dinner, help with homework and off to sports every other week I don’t think will be feasible. I already talked to my partner that every 3rd week will require some adjustment to get the work done so I can take care of the kids. I may change my mind plus I plan on seeing them atleast once or twice each week that I am not there.
WT, I understand what you are saying. I did tell her that I had to see the kids and spend time with them I just missed that in my post. And I don’t know how to get her to step up to the plate. This needs to get done and again if I don’t start it and push it nothing will happen. I hope as you do that she will wake up but right now I cannot wait for that. I plan on moving out the end of this month so time is of the essence.
Also don’t worry about being harsh I need that to stop being overprotective and trying to make it easier on her. Its my nature so bear with me on this.

ps. Thanks for the poem Bridge I need to read it a couple of time but I get your meaning.
