What makes you think that this is just basically step one of her getting you out of her life?

There is a correlation.

There is a correlation between relational health and, uh,

a body that keeps going to war with itself.

That is, that's fair.

It's, it's, it's not, it's not causal, right?

You don't, we're never going to know this led to that.

Right.

But all I have to say is this, um, have you sat down and said, do you want to end this marriage?

I have.

What did she say?

Okay.

So I, I, I guess there's two things you can do.

You can say, no, I'm not going to leave.

I want to continue to work on this.

If you want to leave, you can't control anything she does.

So if she wants to leave and y'all want to figure out getting her an apartment, that if you're the only breadwinner, y'all will help figure out financially how you're going to do all that, or she'll go stay with her, whatever.

Or you can sit down and say, I don't want to leave, but I do want you to feel safe in your own skin.

And so I want to propose a one-week separation.

And here's the rules of separation.
