Thank you so much for the encouragement. The past few days have been very confusing. My H has started packing his stuff; my kids are asking questions that stab me in the heart; and H has been sleeping with me. He is not cold by any means during the day - we joke and laugh a lot and we are kind to each other. But there is little touching or affection. At night it is like it was when we first started dating and couldn't get enough of each other. We hardly sleep. Then we get the kids ready and he gives them hugs and kisses goodbye - just a smile and "have a good day!" for me. How does he toggle between this passion for me and then packing his stuff?

I am bracing myself for a tough night tonight. I am going to try to just enjoy and not remind myself that this is the last night. I'm not sure what else to do. Then I guess tomorrow it will all come crashing down. Ugh.

I know I have posts to respond to, but am on my phone right now - will reply later when I am home.
