I will be the first to admit that it is a tough call --- but reacting and over-reacting to everything will hardly be too helpful either.

By no means has our marriage been easy...there has been a lot of turmoil, but not once did I ever imagine not growing old with my spouse, now he tells me he is "in love" with someone else. I did ask him to come back home but he has said that he doesnt know what he wants and that he is confused. We have a 9 year old daughter that idolizes her daddy. There have been a lot of harsh words said, we have only been separated 3 weeks. I feel totally empty and lost. I miss my family and what could have been for our future. I can't even imagine starting over with someone new. I wouldnt even begin to know where to meet someone anyway. All I do is go to work, take my daughter to gymnastics and go to Wal-Mart.
