Thanks for dropping by my thread. I'm sorry I can't keep catch up on your sit right now. I've scanned the posts from Vanilla etc. I can't agree more.
Do not leave your home. Tell her (When she brings it ONLY). if she wants out of the marriage - she should leave. That was one of the best things I did.
In house Sep is the worst. We at first did this one day on one day off thing it worked - but I caved. I thought if we acted like a family it would bring her back.
I wish we had maintained the one day on one day off. She got to cake eat way to much during in house sep.
Whatever you do - do things differently. It really gives you confidence and strength. Shop at different stores, pack a lunch don't buy it, take a different route to work, if you wear jeans - start wearing dress pants, etc.
Trust me it works. It also gives you new things to talk about with people around you. It get's you a new head space.
I started baking, cooking, gardening. I took over everything my W did for the kids - if we needed pants hemmed I got my mum or the tailor to do it - Not her.
I got a motorcycle, etc etc.
Trust me change even the smallest thing. Do 5 push ups a day - in a month you will feel stronger.
Keep at it we are with you.
