Sounds good. Little steps of progress much better and more stable than big leaps.

In what way could you mess up? Tackle those concerns head on.

What would you do if you were not afraid?

well, had a great weekend with the kids. But just as I expected she wanted to talk today. She started telling me she wanted a divorce and ive asked her to try a 3 month separation.. I don't know if she will or not, or if she is just going to give me til after thanksgiving. Not too sure what my next move is. If she insists on a divorce should I move back in? I cant just mooch off of my co worker forever. I'm willing to make the arrangements for a few months for a separation. Feeling very lost and need advice.

Thanksgiving to show you've changed? What were the reasons that she gave you to proceed with divorce?

Too much damage and she's tired of trying . Don't feel the same.

I thinly til after thanksgiving to see if she's not as angry. She wanted to proceed with the divorce. I was just trying to get a little time for her to calm down

Is she still as angry? Do you think you should do whatever she asks of you?

That's what I'm not sure of. I feel like I'm setting myself up for papers. If she insists on a divorce I feel like I have to move back in. This was only supposed to be temporary to give her space. I can't keep mooching off of coworkers if she's done trying.

Im also worried that I cant deposit love units from 40 miles away. How can i get her to fall in love with me again if im not there? If she needs more time to generate some energy ok, but right now that woman hates me.
