[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, 16:30 here.  I feel like we're in identical situations. Do you have kids? I have one 4YO and honestly, if not for her, I would end this relationship because I don't think it's sufficiently nourishing to me to be worth all the work it will require.  But because of my DC I'm really giving it a fighting chance because my husband and I will have to get to a healthy place for our child whether we stay together or not. I think what you may have to accept first, if you are deciding to try to stay, is that things may not change much, and if they change it will only be after a lot of invested time and effort.  If, given that, you still want to try then roll up your sleeves, gather your support network, make sure you take good care of your own well being and go for it.  But you have to be in a good place in your own skin and you have to be strong and patient.

My husband and I separated 4 months ago and in this time I have recovered from a serious depression and am regaining my own strength and now I feel I am in a place where I can work on the marriage. I don't know what will happen in the end, but if I were still in that dark place I was before, we wouldn't have a chance. You have to make sure you're OK first before you can tackle anything else.[/quote]
