My home office is in a different room, it made more sense to move there. I don't have space in the master bedroom to move my office there. I might be able to move things around so that it's possible. It's only the first night, I could go back and say she needs to take that room, I'm going to move my office in the master bedroom since she is the one to initiated separation.

It makes sense that she should deal with the consequences. That is my problem, I capitulate too much and offer to concede.

It does sound like I want the divorce. I admit there is a part of me that does, but really I'm trying to feel positive in all this. I want to be together but only if she changes. The thing is I've seen very little over the years. There is another part of me that thinks I am free, I will have space from her, and I can do my own thing. But I guess I always had that power in the first place to do my own thing.

I do wonder too if she has mixed emotions since she is wondering when to tell the kids and when to tell her parents.
