I know it may not apply to my sitch, but I'm just curious.


Yes, I did think about it. I thought of our children - what our D would mean to them. And, yes I did think of what Coach was going through. I was taking care of myself, though, and believed it was essential to get away from the situation as it was then.

Coach and I talk about this from time to time - are we sorry we separated? More precisely: do I wish I hadn't left? The thing is, had I not shaken things up, we're not sure anything would have changed for us. So it's hard to say "I'm sorry I left you" when both of us agree it made a big difference to our relationship and marriage. However, let me be clear - I hate that he suffered. I hate that our children felt insecurities and uncertainties about our family. I expressed this part of my regret to him and our children sometime after I moved back home. They have forgiven me.
