Sandi, I do love your advice. I do think I have "started" to detach/baby steps. I do like who I am, who wouldn't? I made three small goals when this all started: Make the bed every morning before I leave for work, stop doing ANY of his laundry (I do hang it over the banister if I need the machines) and cook dinner nightly. 11 weeks and they are habits now.

I have a life outside of the marriage. THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. He felt ignored all the time. I did that.

After 11 weeks of this crap, I am getting up in the AM and calling my daughter to see if they will be around. Hopefully, I can go visit for a few hours. When I get ready to leave the house for the day, what do I say? Do I tell him where I am going? Do I remain vague?
