Yes, we are not D but I did file for legal separation, to protect the money, for me and the kids.

I am so detached! except for praying for him, cursing how much crap he left here at home (both emotional garbage and his possessions! I do not let him lead me down the path of an argumnet. We never really argued, but when he makes a comment I let it go, this MLC is in his head.

My 180's include filing for separation -- he's stunned I did it first. I got out of town soon after he moved out. When he calls or texts I have stoppped pleading for him to be happy in our marriage -- my 180 there is to be nice and friendly but kinda busy. I do not mention MC or IC --he said he's a little sad I do not brig it up any more. When we were happily married we had an agreement I needed to stay out of "his" garage. Now that he left, I cleared out an area and park my car in there. He took that as a slap in the face, as silly as it sounds.

GAL: I've invited friends and neighbors back into my life. For a few years H was depressed and closed himself off from people. Now that I am being honest with them about H's problem they include me in plans and call or text. I am looking for work and also thinking about returning to school. I've taken a few classes and seminars and it was really nice to be on campus again and see a bigger world, talk to different people. I am cooking the food I love, not the junky crap H liked! That's minor but funny to me.
