Thanks Thornton and Bdog. I think there's been more open and honest dialogue in the last 72 hours than the last 7 years of our marriage. It's heavy but it's really good.
She's leaving for the beach with the kids tomorrow and her family. Our plan was to switch out on Wednesday, but now I'll head down there Tuesday. I decided it was best for us that she go alone to start the vacation because a) she needs time with her Sister and Mom after fighting for the last few months and b) I need my time. I already have plans and I did not want to change. Last time we quickly felt relief when we "reconciled" and did not learn. That's not happening this time.
Bdog - On DR, I'm not asking her to read. I've just pulled out the book and she can use it if she'd like. 4 years ago I let her read it and she threw it at me saying "it's not that easy". My bad last time. That first chapter just makes so much sense about the big picture, but if you're not ready for it you're not ready for it. It's available if she wants to read.
Hope everyone has a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend.
