Hi all. Thanks for the perspective and your help. I really appreciate it. My Jan 2013 date isn't so much a timeline I'm imposing on myself... it's the date on which my work permit expires and I have to move jobs and countries.
So that'll force either a break or an attempt at reconciliation... will we move and set up a new home together with our son in a new location? Or two separate homes and begin 'co-parenting'?
For now, I'm choosing not to discuss this with her or entertain any discussion of what a breakup looks like in terms of dividing assets or sharing custody.
We started therapy together in April and the notion of how to 'smoothly' work out a break up could come up at the next session. Not sure how to handle if it does, other than to say "not going to discuss that right now..."
