I thought about appearing weak when mentioning the support group but yes, was using it as validation that what I was saying and doing was correct and I do think that helped her get the message and not stay in the marital bed the last couple of nights which is what I was looking to accomplish. She leaves for the apartment tomorrow for a week and is expecting me to take the second week. I'm sure she's going to lose it when I tell her I've changed my mind about rotating out of the house and if she wants to separate, she can stay in the apartment. She is the primary caretaker and the kids are going to want her in the home which is where I get conflicted but I also get skeeved out about potentially staying in the apartment if it's simply serving as her sex nest.
