The draft joint custody agreement that my W and I worked on went out to the lawyer yesterday so that he can review and add legalese. I'm impressed with how my W and I maturely put the agreement together...we even had a few laughs. This was hard because it really put the situation in sharp focus...the separation is becoming a reality...and I still very much love my wife. Though my faith has been shaken lately. Last week my W tells the MC that once we separate she might get back with the OM. That news shocked me because just a few days prior she told me that "it was just a fling...I haven't seen him in weeks." Quite frankly if the lying doesn't stop soon this marriage will be over! Anyway, next week she is officially out of the house and into her apartment. I just hope I don't become a total emotional wreck. I've got to keep on GALing! Thanks to all of you for sharing and providing helpful advice...it has strengthened my faith in "the kindness of strangers."
