One thing holding me back is I'm not a good actor. I know it would really help if I could act like I don't care or that my heart isn't broken. But I do care, and my heart is broken. Making myself scarce and GALing is obviously one solution. But I also really want to be home with the children, so that puts a limit on how much I'm willing to be gone, and when she's there, it gets progressively harder not to clam up and look the LBS part. And that's a further turn off, it makes her feel guilty, I think, and she doesn't want any part of feeling guilty, so her anger/resentment grows.

Does anyone have any tips for "acting like you're moving on" as MWD puts it?
