Cube, thanks for the reassurance!! I've done as much research as someone can do. And I want my wife to state we disagree on divorcing, but it takes two in a M like Michelle suggests. I feel my kids should know I didn't want this without shooting blame at her. Show them it's ok to fight for what you want. Interesting on the no crying or sad statement. Haven't heard that before. Can you expand on that theory?

Twinmom,
Your right, I can still be gone whenever she gets home. And I love the charity suggestion! I'm one of those guys were my W says I was emotionally unavailable. Both our communication wasn't very good and her work schedule I realized hurt us. Too much time apart! It seems like a dance to show her my changes in communication I'm working on through counseling but be dark and mysterious at the same time. Very tough daily with not seeing her a lot during the week. I feel her pulling away more from me
