I know you're ready to call it quits. The thought of that is devastating to me especially since it seems so sudden. This is all so unexpected and I don't know what to make of it. Given all the time we've had together, I'm asking you to consider setting a mutually agreed upon timeline for your leaving. Please understand that I need some time to adjust (and so do the kids). If you still feel the same way in x months, I won't stand in your way -- but I hope we'll use that time to try and fix what's broken.
