So initially I started with will he won't he leave questions. But now they are separating and he has moved out today. Wife brings children home from holiday tomorrow and they are planning to tell them they're separating. It's all very raw for him and her and high emotion. He's insistent he's making the right decision as horrific as he's finding it. He says he loves me, wants me and hopes we can come through this. We both realize it's going to be incredibly hard. Im a bit exhausted from the support and roller coaster last few days. Tomorrow I'm going away for a pre planned holiday with my mum, not sure if it's good or bad timing? I sense the next week will be horrific anyway for him and the things he is going to face. equally we both miss each other so much.
We are both committed to making it work for us in the long term, realizing some of this is about taking it so slowly and accepting each others limitations and taking care. But I'd love to hear of other experiences and thoughts if you have been in this situation. A couple of people have suggested a total break but that's not possible with our jobs and neither of us want a total break anyway. So really welcome all other thoughts on how to protect and preserve our relationship through what I'm sure will be a terribly difficult few months.
