Her drinking is not in excess, just more than usual.
Improvements: I am have been "detached" for three weeks, and living in the guest suite above the garage. I don't say "I love you", and act lighthearted & "unaffected". I've always been very involved with the kids & cooking & cleaning & laundry. Those are not her gripes.
I have been monitoring results for the goals I've set, but see very little change.
I know it's all about patience, but I don't see how things can possibly improve once she moves out (set for June 19).
She wants to tell kids that "Mommy & Daddy just aren't getting along right now". I want to tell them that "Mommy doesn't love me anymore". I won't, but what is this going to teach our kids about love?
