I wonder if my "acceptance" of this marriage being over is detachment or is it "giving up?"

It somehow feels like i have come to terms with it today and I am ready to take on the reality of the situation more so than last week. Man, this is such an emotional roller coaster !

Although the next few months will not be easy at least I can accept that I have no expectations other than being able to communicate well with my W and keep it amicable for the Kids. If we can stay friendly and I dont have to deal with any surprise news of a OM then I feel like i will be okay as long as I stay focused on MY changes, and allowing myself to forgive and love myself. It feels right to move forward with this attitude and accept this reality.

I think the hardest part will be unemotional nature of the conversations I will have with my W, the coldness of it, like talking to neighbour or acquaintance. I will just keep any emotions that I have in check and go with the flow.
