Need some tips...

How do I detach when we still live together and the issues that brought us to this point is due to me being a detached spouse? For example if I go out and do something without her then that is reflective of how I use to be, going out with friends and while she sat at home.

I am trying to balance being the man/husband she always wanted and needed at the same time detach so I don't set myself up for devastation when/if she leaves.

I started the GAL process by getting myself back in the gym and I do my best to maintain a positive attitude.

I am slowly learning what does not work.

What tips do you all have on how to detach but no so much that she thinks I am also pursuing the separation?
