can someone please tell me how to deal with seperation?? My husband feels that we need a seperation, and it is tearing me apart.. He loves me and is attracted to me but just feels that we need to seperate and see how things go... I do know that he is very depressed, and we made a big move out of state for a new business that did not do well, and had to move back home. Ever since then he has just been distant, and secluded from me and the kids ( 2 kids that are not his) but he has been a teriffic father to them.. He doesent care about anyone or anything he says. He says its not me and maybe he just needs some space, but it is killing me... I guess if there was a reason i could understand better.. Any advice from anyone??? I am currently waiting for an apartment to open up to give him his space but it is the last thing i want to do.

" My stbx suggested separation as well. But before we actually did that, we went to counselling first. It didn't help in our case, but it could in yours. Thats what I'd do first. I'd want to dig to get to the root of the issue. If he is depressed, I am not sure a separation will help that in any way. "

" Yes I suggest
a) counselling
b) commitement that if he /you move out you promise not to date or sleep with anoyone else.. you will not pursue another relationship if he truly thinks the space will help
c you both go to individual counselling
d you get meds if you need them...

So sorry for your pain. "
