Newby here, desperate for some advice (thread 5)

JR, I've done similar things, though not for as many nights. And although there was initial disappointment, and even worrying about what my W would do -- i.e., go out and cheat -- eventually I settled onto the feeling that it's a necessary and good thing for my W to be alone. She needs that time alone to feel what it's like to be alone, and to sort out her own feelings.

In-house separation is classic Greek tragedy: everything is set up to fail.

I know it scuks, but just trying to put a positive spin on things....
