Hey S,

Breathe. You're only two weeks in. It may feel like a lifetime, but it's nothing. The reality of what she's done most likely hasn't even begun to set in for your W, right now she's got the high from the sense of freedom from leaving and is surrounding herself with people (female co-workers) that support what she's done. I think this is common.

My W told me about all of her new "friends" two weeks after she left. She was quiet and introverted with me but now was suddenly going out on weeknights. The energy and newness of the situation props them up for a bit, but it can't last. At some point the reality of the situation will hit her. She can't outrun a change this large forever.

As for FB, don't look at it. It will drive you insane. Don't check her profile - ever. The focus should be on you and what you're going to do with your life. Plus, people only post photos of them living the way they want people to think they're living. She's not going to post a photo of her crying in the bathroom missing you. I'd say stay off FB yourself too. If you want to post something, due it through your phone and let it go. FB is a time suck anyway. This time is crucial for you to make changes in your own life and spending time on FB isn't going to help that.

Read some of the threads by the vets around here, and/or from folks that have been on here for a year or longer. This is a marathon and you're still in the first 500 yards of it. A lot is going to change throughout the course of this, and what you see, feel and experience now is not the reality of it.

Good luck.
