Hi Jim

Now I think back, there were countless time if we could have communicated better, she would not feel I was controlling.

This is one of the many things that I need to work on.
The other major thing that I was not listening to her. I can hear her but I didn't it to the heart.

Hopefully I can change these bad habits soon and at least I hope I will have a chance to show her.

I hope I will on the R road like you are soon.....

Good luck Jim.

I called my son last night at my WW's mom house.
I was so happy just to hear his voice.

WW's mom and I have a brief conversation.
We both think the A is over. I know she went out last night with her sister having fun. I guess she is out there looking for "Mr Right". I saw her latest picture on her site. The wedding ring is off.
I haven't have any contact with her pass several days. I know she wants the big D, but I want to work things out.

Should I just stay away from her now and wait?

I appropriate any advice from all of you.

My wife finally reply to my e-mail from couple days ago.

My son is doing great he has lots of new friends over there. He is having lots more fun than when he was with us back home. I know my son is away from me but he seems to be a lot happier down there with my wife and her big family.
My wife also sounds happier within her e-mail. I am glad.

It really looks like she is doing a lot better away from me since she doesn't feel the stress from me.
Is this justify our separation or upcoming Big D?

Right now I feel like my wife and I are just casual friend.

I still want to fix our marriage instead of just casual friend for our son.

It just seems like my hope is getting darker by the minute.
