Besides drink? Breathe deeply, positive self-talk, watch my favorite shows, read, and talk to Boxer dog.

If you are worried, perhaps call him to see when he's coming to see Boxer. Then, you'll have a fixed time and know what he's thinking.


This is a good idea. However, he's called ME a few times during the separation to set up a time to come by for something he needed. I will still have some anxiety about this possible scenario, unfortunately.

I still think a date attempt is in order. The longer both of you stay apart, the less you will need each other for emotional needs. The less the connection, the harder to rebuild. That's my POV.


Thanks for your perspective. I certainly need a male perspective. If you were the WAH, how would you respond to a date request? How would you respond to one if you thought that divorcing your W was your best option?

I couldn't agree with you more about the part I indicated in red. That's been in the back of my mind for some time. Thanks for saying it and bringing it back to the front of my mind.
