Wow...just wow. So very well put. I am about a month into separation with a walk away wife who feels that she doesn't have time to wait for me to fix my issues, even though she would admit I was making progress before our fall-out. I think an EA with OM from online game has her confused. Working on being the best me I can be for my children and this post gives me a sense of affirmation that I need to let her find herself. I have to make sure I do things to keep the door open for our marriage but also make myself happy in the interim.
