Lately I've been thinking that it might be a good thing if my H and I separated. Not because I'm angry or can't deal with the situation but because he really does seem to be too dependent on me and too inclined to believe that I am trying to control his life in some manner. I don't know what I can do to get out of his way enough for him to work on developing his own ego strength while I'm still actively invested in the relationship. I suppose I could try to go into some sort of friendly roommate/co-parent mode and work on enforcing the non-rudeness boundaries and stop initiating sex. Actually this is kind of where I am already.
