I was hoping to have had some vet input before stating my verdict.

I think it was good to have done it. Timing being so late was not perfect.Looking back i may have made some mistakes. I did state I would rather seeherhappy than stuck here if she is that unhappy.I think I came across as TOO understanding of her side of things.

This is backed up by some snooping. She appreciated a lot of what with that I said even if some of it was a long time late. Some of what I said came across as recited, but I guess it has been going around my head for so long I know it by heart. Did mention that I often come across well but only last a few days. In the past i would agree. She did say that although nothing decided she thinks that I know the only solution is separation!

I know not to believe words but I do believe that she sees that as THE solution. In some situations I think it is useful for WAS to think
LBS wants to leave, in my situation i am not sure. Any opinions?

I believe I should try to keep the communication levels at an improved level. I need to try this in the friend zone. Hate that place. I have read a lot about that and have some ideas how to proceed. Any help/tips are welcome.
