Thank you for all of the advice...I have been doing the wrong things since she told me she wanted to separate. I have serious doubts that our marriage can ever be reconciled. I will only have 30 days at home with her and the kids and then I will be going back to California where my ship is based. I guess by being geographically separated as well it will be easier for both of us just to get on with our lives. I will still maintain contact and try to see my children as much as I can, but as for her I believe I will just be out of sight and out of mind.
