Hey Chris, sorry to hear about your sitch. Make sure you do your homework from cadets post. Try to detach and give her the space that she is asking for. It is my opinion that if you can keep your whole family and friends from knowing what is going on then it will be easier for her to stay with you if that's what she wants eventually. I thought I was giving my wife space for over a month only to find out that she felt I hadn't because I was confiding in family and mutual friends about our issues. As soon as I stopped sharing she seemed more at ease around me. I have 1 friend that I confide in (he's also my pastor) that she knows I talk to. Also I come here for support and advice on my sitch.
Good luck my friend. Hang in there and don't hesitate to lean on the great people here for support and encouragement.
