Putting my life back together

[1foot2]

Yup, be as new a man as you can when you next see her, and have some hope (maybe the wrong word) that several days without you reminds her of the intangibles that she is leaving behind.

That's what I struggle with in the in-home separation. It's hard to enact those changes from day to day. I wake up in the morning and immediately get on my guard, and get discouraged if I make the slightest "old move" before I've had a chance to check myself (or make coffee).

Try to see this as your extended incubation period.
