Great post Rick. Though our situations are slightly different (my wife is out of the house - but almost ALL her stuff is still here, and she's SAID she wants a divorce, will mention it briefly once every 7-10 days but hasnt filed or anything), I feel like my wife's past traumas and my own actions/inactions exacerbating them play a huge role in what's going on. So I've bookmarked the thread so when it gets frustrating, or feeling TOO uphill, I can come back for inspiration.
