Holy cow!!! I spent the morning at work reading this entire thread and it sounds almost exactly the same as my situation, right down to the house, except that my wife doesn't work with the EA man. I have learned so much reading this and applaud all of you heartily for the advice you are giving. FFH is a few steps ahead of me and it is great to be able to see how this works in real life, in real time, right before muy eyes and to see all of the support you guys are willing to give! I don't know how you do it, but thank you, thank you, thank you sooooo much. You are our salvation!

I am getting quickly to this point in my situation. I just have to get the detachment thing right. I have pursued heavily for 5 month and still feel very needy. I feel like I can't go on without my wife, but I know I have to get past that.

Good luck FFH and hang tough! You can do this. You are strong.
