Bworl, I just feel that Geronimo comes across as needy with his wife. He has mentioned a number of times contacting her for comfort and that makes me believe he's not in the best place to be making a choice that could bring about added pain that he's not ready to deal with. That's why I suggest keeping a friendly distance from her, sure do the family outing once in a while, do the family dinner once in a while but that's once in a while. Don't be calling her looking for kindness and support, it makes you too vulnerable at a time when you're vulnerable enough as is. Hey, when you feel strong and you're up to the challenge then you go for it. But make a choice based on rational decision making processes and not on neediness. That said, there's nothing wrong with neediness especially when you've have your life turned upside down, it's normal. But, admit it, know your limits and protect yourself.
