Sparks - you're in that weird stage where you have a newborn and a job and crazy relationship issues/therapy and things get sort of all consuming. Just get out of it sometimes - be alone and go for a walk or something. I don't think you're any more focused on this than I am, but it seems like you really identify with writing/mulling over the play by play. Not a bad thing, BUT this character trait seems to be translating into a lot of communication and looking for feedback (play by play) from the W. It sounds like she wants to give it to you, too - telling you it's ok to be upset, etc.

I don't know if you are leaving her a life line/working towards reconciling, or giving her a safety cushion. If you were farther along, it would seem like you would be putting things back together with these talks and moments. But she's moving out...she's taking the dog, furniture, money, and trying to push for more time with your baby (she's got an argument a lot of women would identify with since she is nursing him, maybe that's why your therapist seemed to be on her side - I am actually afraid sometimes that my H is just waiting that out so he can get more time)
