Hi Step. I think that I posted on FOBD's thread that I wasn't familiar with your thread. Sorry bout that. I read so many that I just forgot that I had read your's a few days ago. Anyway, like FOBD said we have to be BITS here!
My suggestion on this separation deal is to avoid if at all possible. At least physical separation. I think that there are probably some sitch's where it is unavoidable, necessary, or, maybe even in some cases, beneficial. But from what I'm reading, it sounds like it is a bit premature in your sitch. JMO. the bottom line is that if you can stay in the same home and DB without p*ssing W off or driving her to file for D, I think that you will have more of a chance to turn things around. I'm fairly new here to the board, but I am physically separated from W myself and it has been a tough road so far. Just my two cents.
