Ok, so I re-read chapter 5 and I'm not sure what I'm doing right or wrong. My WAW wants out, but hasn't "left" or filed papers yet. We agreed to a separation but that hasn't even taken place yet, still waiting on her. So here is my dilemma. Based on the LRT, I'm no longer pursuing (texting, calling, etc.), hounding her to talk about our relationship, trying to find out what she is thinking or doing, and things to "please" her. I don't think I've said "I love you" in almost 2 months even though I still do.

Yet, I'm not sure if my behaviors are correct. Let me explain, I'm being positive, putting myself and kids first, doing things around house to keep busy, minding my own business, having a smile on my face, and being polite. Maybe taking care of things around the house is the problem? Should I only take care household stuff relevant to kids and I? This was one of her gripes was my effort around the household. Maybe as somewhat of a 180, handling these things more? The interactions between her and I are very minimal (although I wish it was more, but I understand) in passing. I'm not acting needy or desperate (even though deep down inside I feel it).

Its only be a few days, so I don't expect miracles, even with IC/therapy. Jody and I supposed to talk on Monday, so hopefully she'll give me some direction.

Just lonely and scared right now....
