About to separate....

[dorightman]

Thanks Regretful, your post is really helpful to me. I appreciate your honesty and good vibes! It sounds like your approach is working, slowly but surely. I just had a talk with my w and we softened our approach after yesterdays horrible interactions. She told me that she needs time and space to process how she feels about us because of how we both failed in the past. I told her my concerns about the legal ramifications of moving out, and she assured me that she's not out to get me. She even said she would sign an agreement to not attack me legally for abandonment. She said she just needs space, thats it. I told her I would keep looking for a short term rental, but in the meantime I would take a step back to detach from her even more while Im in the house. I told her I would not engage her anymore unless it was about the kids. She seemed relieved after our conversation, we shook hands and went our separate ways to start the day. Now I just need to keep my end of the bargain!
