My story pretty much mirrors Steve's in Chapter 9 of DR. 6 weeks ago, W told me she didn't love me anymore. I did all the wrong things with sadness/crying/pleading. We went to counseling but she decided that we should prepare for a trial separation after the holidays so that's where we are.

In the meantime, I've continue to help more around the house and with the kids which I've been doing since BD but am otherwise onto The Last Resort over the past week and doing a decent job so far. However, our relationship is actually better now than it was before BD including having more sex in the past 6 weeks than we've had in the past several years. We're both treating it as solely physical, no cuddling after, very little, if any, kissing. Just raw sex, which she said she's ok with but I think we both find a bit confusing as we continue on the path to separation. Should I not be doing this?
