I would like to thank all who have taken time to read and reply my posts. I have taken careful consideration of your advice and cautions.

It has been one week since my post and after reading the many responses I'd like to offer one last thought on the driving force on my consideration for separation and divorce, which is the "Why."

The negativity of my relationship killing me. It has changed me; changed my outlook on women that I need to reverse (I love all women). It has darkened me as a person. I am now running on only a small vapor of "resiliency" and not much left, I need to change my environment, and it needs to happen now.

I am looking to get back to the vibrant, optimistic, lighthearted, outspoken and most important ....loving, person, father, man, and dang it Husband, that I know I am. I will never loose sight of the importance of people, and everyone I touch today. That is the why.

Again, thank you.
