Today my life feels like it’s in turmoil. My wife and I tried to talk some things through this weekend and it did not go well at all. She wants to try a trial separation. I’m not for it. I want Amy to have daddy living at home. And maybe selfishly, I want to be there on a daily basis for her.

My wife says she’s maxed out emotionally and physically with all that she has on her plate (Amy, her health issues, Nursing school, money worries, working on our marriage). Something has to go and she’s decided that maybe it should be me (for a while). Ouch, that hurt.

I tried to ask her how she saw this working out (logistics, money, etc.) and all she could say was “I don’t know”. I don’t know either. I just don’t know...
