Rob,

do her a favor and start boxing it up for her
Tough stuff to hear. I've kinda been comforted by having her stuff is here. It makes me think she is considering returning. But then I think how lazy, procrastinating, and conflict avoidant she is and chalk it up to that. It is just to difficult for her to do, so she avoids it. I guess I need to help her with that.

I think it might be very therapeutic for me to start that process of removing her from the house.

start working on making the place new again
Not a problem. I can even get to some areas I’ve been meaning to remodel, like the closets.

No more relationship talk
I’ve already dropped the R talk. I think I need to cut the talk down even more. Any ideas on how the conversation should go? I expect to be talking to her probably today. Do I even bring up scheduling C sessions? If I’m not supposed to go the MC without the OM discussed first, how do I even broach that? Is that something where she has to be begging to come back before I can even have any leverage to bring that out?

It's quite possible that she has felt not good enough for you for a very long time
It is *definately* how she has felt. I don't get why. She is very unhappy about her body and is projecting. If she doesn't like her body, how could anyone else?

Contact her when you've packed all her things
It will be tough to do, but I think you are right. It is the right move.

Thanks Rob, for the action oriented things I should be doing *now*.
