I am researching divorce procedures in Ontario. TxHubby, I appreciate your reply and You are correct. I realize I have been in Limbo since well before the bomb was dropped. Its time I force her hand. I believe she is waiting for me to start the conversation again. What she won't expect is me asking her to leave and its time to separate for real. She wants the separation. I will let her prove it. I can't truly focus on my happiness if I continue with the status quo.
I have waited for her to decide. Its time I make the decision for her. Don't know what to expect. She is stubborn and set in her ways. Being in the same house may be OK with her but not with me any longer. I felt it would be best for me if she stayed. That was wrong. It will be best for me if I don't see her everyday. I get irritated easier with her around. I don't need that in my life.
I find myself leaving the house more when she is there and staying at work longer. I was always the first one home to make dinner. I now make sure I am not home first anymore. Make her realize how rushed things are when we have to feed the kids and leave for the arena many nights during the week.
She has had it too easy because I let her. No more. She can arrange her schedule more often to accommodate the many nights of after school commitments.
Don't count the days, make the days count. Mohammad Ali
