Newly Separated and trying to save marriage

[labug]

Thanks for filling in the gaps.

This I have typically been a needy husband, and relied on her to take care of things. is a huge insight. Work on that. You might want to add Codependent No More to your reading list.

Do you think your neediness was a factor in your first marriage? If so, it's really an issue you want to conquer.

I don't think you should go to C with your W. You're doing the right thing in leaving her to figure out what she wants. You need to figure out you and better ways to handle stress. ADs are good for helping you settle your mind so you can work on you. Is your prescriber following up with you?

Don't fall into the trap of wanting her to see how much you've changed, let this unfold as it will. She will contact you if and when she wants to see if you've changed.

Your GAL is good. Try adding something completely new with new people who don't know your W. It makes a big difference in how you see yourself.
