F4W -

Yep, you have to go with gut feel, and only you know that. It's just so tough to work on things when the other party isn't in the "working on it" mode. It forces us into a stand-still, which drives us crazy (me included).

Hang in there, I think the 5 days will do you both a bit of good.

Not to hijack - but I will:

Cobra - I think my point was that usually in a SSM, the LD spouse thinks all things are hunky-dory if only the HD would stop pestering about that S$x thing! obviously, there are many underlying issues that lead to a SSM. But it is a totally different issue from the WAW scenario. A WAW wants out and ain't nobody changing their mind. I have unfortunately been a party to both situations.

thanks, guys.
