Thank you everyone for the input and advice. I read through everything and I agree with it! We both have our problems, but we are married and got married for a reason...we love each other and we want to spend our lives together. So, we have to work everything out. It is our duty to one another. I should have brought this stuff up in the past or when it was going on. I know that it is not healthy to hold things in, yet I did it anyways for argument's sake. I don't like it, so I just went along with it.
We talked it out all day and most of the night yesterday, putting everything on the table. When was all said and done, I still love my wife and a hurried, impulsive and life altering decision, like a separation, should not be made under such circumstances. I could not picture my life without her and I realized that more than ever yesterday. I feel horrible for making her feel the way she felt this past week and you are not supposed to do that to the person that you love. I have to work on my communication skills so that will not happen again. I would not be better off without her in my life. In fact, I am 100% sure that I would be caught in a downward spiral. I think that I mentioned that we the exact opposite, but I guess that is what keeps us grounded

Anyhow, I really appreciate all of you taking the time to read through my post and replying with some really great thoughts, input and advice.
Thanks again,
Jim
