The Fear of doing nothing

Morning guys,

I'm putting this post up because I've had a really bad morning.

I actually had a really good day yesterday, but I've woken up this morning and everything has hit me at once. I don't know why I feel this way today, but I hate just sitting here in silence, doing nothing.

Living in separate houses and only seeing her when I see the kids is really hard. I feel like by sitting here and doing nothing, I'm not fighting for her. I want my wife back. I want my family back. I want to come home to everything we've built together.

I know I've broken her trust. I know I've let her down. I know she's expected me to change before, and I haven't. Now she's given up, checked out, and we're living separate lives with low or no contact.

What I struggle with most is feeling like I'm doing absolutely nothing. How can I expect to fix things by doing nothing?

I just needed to get this off my chest this morning.
