Help 1st day of Separation

I moved out of the house yesterday and this morning I feel like crap. Married 9 years and two small children. We tried for years to address our issues with counseling for both individually and more recently couples, but no success. I tried and now I am physically and emotionally burnt out, but I have regrets and I am not sure if I made the right decision. I would have had regrets if I stayed.

The last couple of weeks we barely spoke, communication sucked and we never really openly communicated anyways, but I never thought I would get to this point. Intimacy is a big issue for use, she suffers from depression, long term depression and year after year it comes on for months at a time and it can be overwhelming and exhausting. I got tired of being put on the back of the stove and when this happened I retreated, it was a bad cycle over and over.

Anyways enough dribble... and advice would be apprecaited.

Thanks

Dave

Hi Dave... well, how's day 2 going?


Ya know, change just isn't easy, even when we feel like it's the next alternative.
