Hurt and LH, thanks for the words of wisdom and tough love.

I really needed them.

Truth is, I think I'm still in shock. Right when I feel like I'm ready to cut things off and move on I get hit back right in the feels.

All that history we had.... gone.

One moment I'm so ready to move on completely and the next I want to scale right back down to a trial separation.

It was particularly hard coming back to the house tonight to find her side of the bedside cleared out and also her side of the bathroom. I don't think I'll be able to stay in this house after it's all over. Too many memories.

LH, good reminder. All I can do is stipulate what I want and need. I'll re-read the notes on validating as well.

I will be strong for myself and you guys. Thanks again.
