No, Peter, don't be so hard on yourself. If you read my sitch, I do the same thing --- things will be calm and I say something I shouldn't.....boom! It happens.

I have been wondering quite a bit if separation would be best in some ways for my sitch b/c of the tendency i have to just say too much when I need to be quiet...but I can't make myself believe it is best to be away from my S even some of the time, so here I sit.

The best we can, any of us, do is to look at every day as a new chance to do our best. I am going to DB the hel! out of W for the next two weeks without messing up (that's the plan..). I will do it one day at a time. You can do it too.

Just don't keep beating yourself up!!! You are HUMAN and this situation is NOT easy nor is it a natural way to live...being cordial/roomies with someone you have been involved with for a long time. It's the hardest thing I've ever done. Good luck and hang in there.
