Yah, I'm down to hoping that the separation will help clarify things for her. And for me. And I'm struggling not to be a d!ck about things, but I will persevere. We have second christmas with her relatives coming up (not scheduled yet) and her birthday coming up. I kind of want to skip them, but we haven't told the kids yet, so I don't want to make it harder.

She's going to be gone on business for a week, so that's good. I get the keys to the apartment soon, so I will be the one setting it up for us. Fun times, right?

I sense a trip to Ikea in my future.
