MLC W and preparing for S or D in the new year

[Gordie]

Yes, that is possible...think she has convinced herself that once we are separated or divorced, she will finally be free...free to find out who she wants to be, free to go and do whatever she wants to do with whomever she wants to do it...

And I have to let her go on her journey...while I go on my journey...and hope that we don't hurt each other and the kids too much in the process...and that we continue to love one another and both grow to become better people and still want to be with one another sometime in the future (I'm still a believer in my until death do we part vow)...a process which may take years...but because of our kids, we will have daily interaction with one another for a very long time...

I can't remember who it was, but someone here asked if this may not be an MLC at all (which implies that while it may last years, is still temporary), but perhaps my W has simply changed, as people do change...and that is possible too...
