Wife left me three weeks ago!

[alpha99]

Well, LRT has been implemented! I picked the kids up from school, dropped them off, stayed about 15 minutes (shorter than normal), laid out my availability for the week regarding the kids, and then left.

Outcome: no arguing, W looked momentarily perplexed when I said I had plans tues, thurs, Sunday this week. I took advice from here and treated her like a neighbour. I was pleasant, upbeat, and chose myself when to leave. I overheard a phonecall she received where it was clear she was going out tonight with friends. I didn't ask any questions though. She did say, oh you're going already. I said a plesant but brisk goodbye, have a nice evening, and was on my way.

Let's keep this up. No argument during meeting is good. Kids were happy to play with me. I'll take them out later in the week for tea etc. I won't invite my wife. I feel quite happy with myself right now. I'm toughening up and getting on with things. It's been one month this week since we split. I wonder where we'll be one month from now. I've set some goals after reading DR last night so let's see what happens.
