Hello u-turn. Your letter is nice. Your W will not want to read any of it though and will think less of you for it giving it to her.

You are asking her to take an action while she is in an A. Stronger for you to take an action regardless what she thinks.

She's asking for how you want to separate. Don't bring up OM. Don't bring up anything else. Decide what you want and then tell her to her face.

You say... "I do think we should separate as I do not see our situation improving."

I told my W... "I am separating from you." Then told her what I was doing. Then took spew. Then did it. It was the hardest thing I've ever done and I felt fear. It needed doing.

She says she wants to separate. You can say... "Let me know when you're leaving so I can plan." Then let her do everything and let her leave.

If you want to separate, make a plan to do so and then tell her about it and then do it. If you need to sell your home, go see a lawyer about it, make a plan to do it, and let the lawyer send her a letter.

If b/c she owns half of everything and she won't budge and you need to go... file D.

Your letter is still a love letter. It is too late for that and she will laugh at you.

Look her in the eye and say something like... "I have decided that..." and then tell her what you are going want to separate and then do it and look happy to do it. See a lawyer first if you need to. I did.
