I've been lurking for the past three weeks. Excellent material and dialogue here so I decided to share.
Three weeks ago my wife of 10 years informed me that she needed a change and she was finished with the marriage. Of course I got the classic "I still hope we can be friends." Needless to say I cried like a baby and begged for the first two days. I found this site and purchased the book and have implemnted my 180. I stopped begging ar asking about our M. I have been keeping very busy at work and working out.
We still share the same home - living in different rooms and sharing the common areas. No fighting or whining, we are both cordial and polite with one another.This week I put down a deposit on my aprtment, but I do not move in until the first of the year.
My question - do I stay in the house so that she can see my 180, or do I increase the space by leaving? Oh yeah - no kids.
