I knew W had been out looking at rentals the past few weeks with a friend of hers and she just texted me:

"I am moving out. I found a place and filling out forms today. It will NEVER work out between us. I can only be a mother to my kids. I can't be a wife to you. Its very sad but its true"

I told her:

"Where are you moving to and when? When are you telling the kids?"


Her reply:

"If they accept my application I will tell them"

When I honestly look at everything all signs have pointed in this direction. There has been no wavering from this direction. We shall see what she does - she has been looking at rentals for a while and not taken any action but she seems ready now.

In some ways it is a relief - finally a decision one way or the other and once she moves out I think I might find new ways to detach and find peace. While she is still in the house I find ways to hold on in one way or another so once she goes I will have no choice but to really let go especially because I think OM is a big factor here and she is looking forward to the freedom to be with him.

I am starting to think about things I want to do to the house. First order of business is new carpet downstairs and interior paint. In the back yard I want to revamp some things also. I will do most of the work myself to keep busy.
