I don't believe in being passive anymore. I'm going to lead my family, even if that means I initiate the separation. I think I can do that without having a huge confrontation, and our goal is mediation. We can't afford lawyers and are both scared of what would happen if we "lawyered up."

But waiting on her to make the moves is just booking a long stay in the Limbo Hotel. And room service is really crappy there.
