Even if I agree with his story, how do you figure I may be getting what I appear to want? What have I expressed that would suggest otherwise? From the time he even mentioned separating I have dated him, slept with him more often, ensured that the house was clean and organized when he got home. But, despite this, he says there is no way we can reconcile. He is being a coward by giving up on his family that consists of 3 young children.
