Well... Definitely not the best day. The day started with my wife making breakfast, which was unusual. I thanked her very much as i appreciated it. We had our annual holiday family photos scheduled for today, so we got all dressed up and went to go get them taken.

On the way there, my wife asked... Do you want to get separate pictures with D taken? I tried to stay calm and just say, these are family pictures.

About twenty minutes later my wife mentioned that she feels like we need to separate for a while. She needs to have time to think about what she wants. I let her know that if she wanted to separate then my D would be staying in our HOME with me, and she would could stay with her friend (a girl) as she requested. This was a hard boundary for me. D would be staying at home, this separation would not change her daily life.

So. After a very long (20 Min), emotional goodbye. (wife and I were both crying like babies, and she was unusually affectionate, and kept apologizing and saying she was sorry) She left.

My wife and I are officially separated. Today. God that hurts to say. Give me strength.
