I`m sad today.Leopards can`t change their spots, can they?

Looking at that last post-and being so much at a crossroads with separation-I really cant see that reconciling with H would mean anything more than me going back to a one sided relationship.

Not good for the kids either. No, we don`t bitch about each other to the kids,and we don`t argue. We even manage polite conversation-usually about the kids and have maanged to be very focusses and agreed on most of what the kids need(apart from two happy parents...sigh!). But S13 asked me last night why we never kiss.

They know we sleep apart but are very confused about where things stand.

I didn`t know how to handle it. I just said life wasn`t a bed of roses and things can`t be wonderful all the time.

Don`t know what else to say really. Any suggestions?
