Thank you V, your words are always so inspiring.

Just got off of the phone with my W's cousin, a male who she was close with. He had no idea five months into this that we had separated, so weird since I thought they spoke regularly.

I'm having to deflect his texts now of "call her, fight for it, you're her husband, you have to lead like a man, that's what she always wanted."

At my DB coach's suggestion I did reach out to her via email yesterday about us meeting with a MC and having me go through the 9th step of "making amends with those we have harmed by our addictions". She hasn't returned my email but I know she works a 14 hour day today so I had no expectation of it.

I think I'll stick to DB principles and stay NC until I hear back.
