Thanks R2C. That is the plan. I’m going to try to gently lead the way through our separation. It’s a sad business but I’m surprised how much the pain has already receded in the last 48 hrs. It’s going to take some work but I’m able to handle it. I came here trying to save my marriage, thanks to this forum I have learned how to save myself. I have much work to do yet, but I’m gonna be ok.
I do carry a small hope that someday we find our way back to each other. But I’m not counting on it. It’s just something I refuse to rule out.
I’m sure there will be more painful moments coming up for both of us. The last night in the same bed. The first morning alone. When I help her find her place and help her move into it. When she helps with mine.
But I am determined to lead the way as a strong, but gentle loving man. But I’m not going to hide my emotions either.
