Thread #3 - Mediation

[KevinIn]

Today is my 8 year wedding anniversary. My wife moved out about 5 weeks ago and we've been separated about 3 months. Not how I envisioned my 8 year anniversary, but the 7 year itch got the best of her.

I didn't want to completely ignore that today is our anniversary and we've both been trying to be cordial to each other lately, so I sent her this text message (she's flying somewhere for work today, and I'm going to my kid's field trip):

Enjoy our anniversary day. Hope you had a good flight.

She replied with this:

We were delayed so just taking off now. I hope you have a good day too and enjoy the field trip. I know she so excited to have you there

I do feel pretty darn detached lately which feels good.
