I am noticing how much closer I am getting to my girls and how great that feels. I am going to the gym and that is also a good feeling. I am not at the point where I can see myself being "OK" alone, but working to get there. This is by far the hardest, most challenging thing I have been through in my life.
What you said here rings true for me. Feel like I've gotten closer to the kids and that is great. The best part of all of this. And this has been the most challenging thing in my life. No doubt, probably for most everyone on this site.
Your dates of wife moving to basement and then out of house are very similar to mine. Most of the time I feel like I'm doing ok but this week just down. When I get together with my W I just feel nothing from her towards me. That is hard to take. She is cordial and jokes some, but it is very stiff.
In terms of being OK being on my own, I actually think I would be ok with that although that is not what I want. But realize I need a plan B and know I'll have a happy and have a fulfilling life regardless of the outcome. So will you!
