Times like this I wish we could skip work and grab a beer, no matter what time it was.
I'm not you and you're not me, that being said, I do not think I'd be married right now if me and my wife had not seperated. I'm pretty positive of that.
With me, it was my choice. So I know that helped me. And we did the friendship thing for awhile, though I was dealing with an OM and active PA. When a deadline came and went in regard to the OM....I took that friendship away.
Being seperated allowed me to be me, be Jack if you will. Be my own man. It helped me relaize that while I wanted someone in my life, I did not need someone in my life. I wasn't 'me' because I was married or in a relationship, I was 'me' first and foremost, who either happened to be married, or with someone...or not with someone.
I realized that I missed that guy, turns out so did my wife.
