MrBond, why is it running away, when I do it to come back in order to handle the situation more effectively?
If I don't take that step and just stay here, I'll probably go crazy. Taking care of the kids, working in a stressfull environment, no rest, no friends to talk to, and going to sleep every night knowing my W is having sex with the OM. This is no place to GAL.
I think the change of environment will work like therapy. It will be much easier to detach, forgive, and GAL because I know that place better than anything else. I have lots of family and true friends there that can help me go through this. I know that move will help me achieve a positive outlook again which I will need to move forward with our new situation.
Your wife won't view it this way. All of that might make sense if you had ALREADY STOOD UP TO HER, but since you haven't, she will view it as running away.
