3 Weeks Later

It's been three weeks since my wife left.  Things are starting to settle down.  She started calling and asking me to move in with her before her first weekend on her own was over.  I'm human and it hurts me and I have considered moving back in with her, but at the end of the day I don't trust her and 90% sure we're going to be divorced soon.  I miss her a lot, but deep down I know that we just aren't going to work out being together.

On the other hand, it's very nice not having to answer to someone for anything.  The house is cleaner than it's been in a long time and I get to watch whatever crap I want on tv and can play my video games without being nagged.  I've been trying to keep busy to keep my mind off things.  I've rearranged my bedroom, done some yardwork, worked on my car, and basically just did household chores for the past few weeks.  I'm starting to get a handle on things and accepted what must be done.  I'll probably give it a few more weeks and then will see about getting the divorce paperwork drawn up and filed.  I don't want to make a rash decision, but I really don't think I will change my mind.

Before we dated, my husband broke up with his ex-gf after he sat in a plate of eggs she set on the couch because she was too lazy to clean up after herself. (She was also crazy, but the eggs were what pushed him over the line, lol). Sounds like you're managing well. Good luck.
