WHG I was home yesterday all day by myself and felt pretty good. When W came home at dinner time from work I got depressed and anxious. I think it is normal and our reaction is the way our brains protect us from the pain.

I can completely relate to this as well. However, since I moved out (been a week now) I don't feel nearly as depressed. I think that when you live with your estranged spouse it is extremely difficult to heal from the pain.

I'm actually hoping that both my W and I heal sufficiently so that if/when we are able to consider R, we will be that much better prepared to move down that difficult road.
