I have had a very interesting past couple of weeks. I just read gogofo's thread and feel a bit better.

We spent the weekend away at our son's hockey tournament in Montreal. It was nice to be away from the house as a family.

Part of me was hoping for a sign that she was reconsidering her plans to separate after the school year, Unfortunately, there weren't any signs.

I have kept my distance, no physical contact at all, just pleasant conversation. It's so hard for me not to show her any type of affection. This is where I am really struggling.

I could use some advice about going dark while under the same roof. I don't want to be the one who sleeps elsewhere since it is her intention to separate. Should I sleep in another room?

Gogofo mentioned he would not have any interaction with the w if he was in the same house. When she sits down in the same room, do I vacate to another room?

Do I be her friend? Part of my plan was to try to start the relationship all over by being a friend and hoping the friendship would grow into the loving r we had when we got married and before our relationship started to turn for the worst five years ago.

I look back and realize that had she only opened up back then we would not be in the sitch we are in today. I tried to discuss things but she never told me how she really felt and although things weren't great I always felt our love was strong enough to get over this huge hurdle.

I recently had a very productive telephone coaching session. When done I was feeling pretty good about things but now I am not so sure. I know it took time to be where we are at today but I am scared that I will never be able to do enough to make the w realize we are meant to be together.

I only have hope that the in next 7 months I can win her back.
