Don't drop any bombs until your energy levels are back up.

Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties and at the same time confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.

And this is the best advice I've been given in a long time.

Coach,

She's already coming towards me. Hugged me when she saw me, called me at work to see how I was doing. Do I just tell her that I need to think about things if she asks?

Four Phases
- get rid of negative feelings

- become friends again

- rekindle the romance

- re-commit to the marriage


Where are you now? Sounds like she is warming up and becoming attracted. Lead and let her pursue.

Come home from the race talking about the people you met. Talk about your book, try a new recipe for dinner, pick up a new shirt, go over your finances with her, let her see into you with no pursuit. Be attractive.

Depends how she acts. Praise and reward good behavior. She's watching you.

What I'm worried about is her thinking I'm just doing this to get a reaction; that I'm not serious about moving out. Yo-yo'ing...

Then have a folder with all your plans in it. Don't hide it.

-Finances

- Housing

- Insurance

- Custody Schedule

- Names of attorneys with notes

- info on how to talk to your girls

Make sense?

Just a quick "hi". You've got a bevy of expert technicians advising the life out of you, and I can hardly take my own advice, so I've nothing to add except to tell you to keep up the good work and not to lose heart. You deserve her to love you and see you again as attractive.

You can also call a bunch of apartment companies and leave your name and number. They will be calling you back at your home number leaving messages like, "This is xyz-neighborhood calling about your recent interest in our properties"

That should make you look serious.
