Who's walking on eggshells now?

So I went to see a counselor the other day to address some of the emotional issues. At one point he said, "It doesn't sound like you need marriage counseling, it sounds like you need divorce counseling."

I've not moved out yet, but I am in another bedroom and there's a lot of civility. which is good, One of the things I've realized just recently is that she doesn't really love me, although she says and thinks she does. It's more like she likes the idea of loving me but wouldn't really know what love was if it bit her on the ankle. I'm sure she loves the kids, but she's not married to them.

Anyway, I'm taking steps to keep things civil for the kids and paving the way for divorce counseling.

Kind of scary.
