Hello to all and again Thank you for your ear in my situation. Last night my 15 year old daughter asked me to watch her practice ballet with her mom being present. My wife seemed to be herself but I was very distant toward her. My wife is attending a 50th Anniversary party that I was not invited to. My wife told the hostess that we were separated. This of course hurts but I have not shown this to my wife. I have made plans to go to New York to see friends without her next week. I am now my own man and doing what I want to do without her input. I have no intention of having an extra marrital affair at this time. I will say I see less anger from her towards me but I am just doing the 180. I hope to be able to formulate a plan. Our son will be home for 2 week leave from Iraq next month. My wife should hear if she was accepted into the Dental Hygiene Program soon. Maybe there is some positive change but to early to tell. Bobby O.
