Yesterday, I invited a coworker who is, so it seems, separated from his W and family. They moved about 12 hours driving distance away and he is still here. He hasn't divulged all of their problems to me, but my W remarked, "yes, they're separated." I guess that much is obvious, although I didn't think of it in those terms.
We had a good night. He is a good guy and nice company. The 3 of us ate, drank, and conversed. My 3 girls played outside and then ate as well.
Today, I worked only a half day and came home. The girls started school, and the PTO had a pool party today. I took my 3 girls alone. The W was at work and didn't come. I had a good time. Socialized with a bunch of different people while there. Came home and the W was home and said she just got home.
She boiled water and fed us spaghetti. She left to go to the gym before we were done.
