2 month seperation WAW talk a/b D options

[mshaf]

Hi all,

I have been reading the forums for a while now as well as reading DB and DR. This is my first time posting.

My sich: My W walked out 2 months ago with my 2 sons. Shew has been living with her parents. The only realtionship talk have been heated discussions. She seems pretty dead set on the D and I can't say I blame her. I know that D is a two way street, but I understand why she is so upset. I have drank too much before the seperation, not been there for her and the kids,not helping around the house, being selfish, and genarally being an a**.

Since finding DB I have been doing 180s and LRT. Spending more time with kids, going out less, focusing on being a better person. Nothing seems to be working as she is wanting to discuss D options tonight. On the plus side this is an opportunity to sit and talk since the seperation. She has stated she "wants to remain friendly but still wants the D" and"thinks I(me)will be more happy without having to answer to anyone".

My question. We will be meeting after work to talk. What do I do from here? I do not want things to progress this quickly. I am hoping for more time, but that is not my choice. Should I bring up other possiblities for the present? How should I approach the conversation?

Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks again and good luck to all.
