Thank you labug, I have been reading many of your posts.
Yesterday was tough. Just really feeling bad about my situation. I ran across a journal entry on my computer from December of 2007. We were having very painful marriage problems even back then. Although there were good times during the period, there were probably more bad. It just hurts to see that this has been going on for so long.
Its so disheartening that my W does not contact me. Is not the purpose of a separation to cool off and reflect on whether life is better apart or together? She has it in her head that a separation is for living separate lives. Isnt that what divorce is for? How can we solve anything without communication?
