I checked out the healing library, seems like most of the book recommendations are geared towards reconciliation.
I have made up my mind to separate and need help building a backbone to stand up to WH when he tries to hoover me back.

Getting Past Your Breakup by Susan Elliot.
Living and Loving After Betrayal by Steven Stosny.
The Breakup Bible by Rachel Sussman.
I read all of these and found them helpful. The Sussman is the fluffiest, the Stosny is the most calming, and the Elliott is the most practical, quick-and-dirty.

Getting past you breakup. Im half way through but love it so far. Practical and direct.
I never realized you could be in this much pain and not be dying.

I always recommend The Journey from Abandonment to Healing. It's the only one of these books that really impacted me and which I go back to again and again.

This is what I am reading and it is fantastic...
"The Language of Letting Go" by Melody Beattie
It is a daily meditation guide. It has a ton of great topics. I highly recommend it!

I found Runaway Husbands to be very helpful.

Marriages that start this way, stepping over the bodies of loved ones as the giddy couple walks down the aisle, are not likely to last.
