I reallly appreciate this site and al of the great information on these boards. My sitch...WS and are 52, 17 years M with no children, very sound financial and physical shape, We have our share of stress, raised my son from my first M...2nd M for both. She has a history of child abuse in her life and depression. We are going to counseling for a little over a month now and she thinks she met her soulmate and refuses to leave that R. He's my exact opposite...no retirement savings, 2 kids, introverted, few friends..etc. I know that throughout our counseling we have discovered some of our gaps and I am encouraged that shes going to continue going. We start a trial separation on Dec 1st with NC..we will go to counseling separately and then meet at the end. Our plan is 2 30 day segments and see where we are at. She is getting her own place on the 1st. Everyone we know is shocked by this and shes not sure why??? So I know the fog is thick, but I also know that I am getting stronger everyday and I am reading,working out, working through my stuff so that I can make my choice when the time comes. I woul love to hear any feedback and thank you for all that you have written here, this place is priceless!
