Surviving Separation

[slow_it_down]

Also, Confluences, I'm really sorry that you got the 'I want to move on' message via text. I can't imagine how painful that must have been.

I've gotten my fair share of bombs dropped via email/text and I guess on the bright side it gives us the chance to take a breath and think through how we'll respond or what our next steps are... since its not in person or on the phone we aren't as likely to blow our PMA, act-as-if persona when we get unexpected news.

Also, the fact that our spouses even bother to tell us anything at all has to mean something right? After all, she could have just taken her rings off, started dating and ignoring you like you never existed. Feeling the need to 1) tell you in the first place and 2) to hide behind a text shows that there's still a lot of emotion on her side, even if she doesn't know quite what it is or what to do with it.
