gogofo. I believe the separation HAS been good in terms of pumping the brakes and letting us both cool off a bit. We're more civilized toward each other now since before she dropped the bomb on me. A lot of that was due to me finally GAL and acting more like myself. Which she has noticed because she mentioned it on Sunday.

I know both of us are tired of the separation. Neither of us like it one bit. BUT, I don't think I'm in a position to be the one to stand up and say enough is enough. If she were to say that she wants to end the separation and start working on our marriage, I wouldn't hesitate (although I wouldn't do it in a way that doesn't make me seem to eager).

I found it interesting that she even brought it up on Sunday. Why did she? She wasn't sure if she wanted a divorce but she wanted to know what I thought about the separation?

I'm not trying to read her mind but she's a VERY closed off person. She does not share her feelings. At all. This has been the case her whole life (per her parents....her mom warned me of this when we first got together). She wants to be perceived as strong and NOTHING is bothering her (when it really is). Basically, she was primed from birth to be a WAW.
