tech66 Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 A few weeks ago my wife said she wanted a separation (http://www.loveshack.org/forums/t284364/), then said she needed a break so we could live apart for a few months while she thought the future of our marriage. Her e-counselor and mom suggested a break might help. My counselor thinks a physical break can be dangerous (separate households), citing how people may feel happier when apart, but that it could be due to escaping the stress of living together while trying to work things out and not due to being apart from their spouse/partner - a potentially dangerous interpretation. I'm curious... did you find a break was helpful, or was it even a possibility in your situation? Did staying together and giving each other space help? If so, how did you give each other space in the same home?
coolheadal Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 What are you going to do without being in the same house with her? She's going to do what she wants too do. Why you sit their and wonder what's she's doing without you in that house. Not healthy for you. Giving them space almost like giving them freedom to try new experiences! Normally this type of situation invites their lover as your replacement. He would takeover from your departure.
