Hanging and hoping- seperation edition

[Gordie]

One word of caution Bman. Even though you are getting along ok with the W don't expect the reality of the situation to hit her and "wake her up". With my W I thought maybe telling the boys she was moving would make her realize how unreasonable she was being. It didn't phase her a bit. While they are in the fog it seems once they set their mind to something they have to go through with it. I think my W thinks if she doesn't see what it's like to live on her own she will regret it for the rest of her life. I hope that she sees that it's a lot less exciting than what she thinks it's going to be. In the meantime I get all this free time to do whatever the hell I want. Who knows maybe in the end I'll be the one that is happier apart. The only difference is I would hope that even if I liked being apart I would at least try to R in order to keep my family together.

My W is also set on her path. I keep thinking something like telling the kids will wake her up but I've been wrong all along. My W also wants to be independent and sees S or D as the path to that goal.
