[quote=Anonymous]Guy here.  This is a tough one, but if you have no children and not a lot of money to be fought over if you divorce, this is my vote --stay put for a while. You don't have to formally separate.  See if being apart from the day to day stresses makes you get  along better by phone. Then go visit for a long weekend after a few weeks or a month.  See how it feels.  Play it by ear.  Right now it sounds like you are on the verge of separation anyway.  Yes, there is a risk living apart could lead one partner to seek another after a while -- and maybe a short while.  And if that happens it can introduce problems that you may or mst not recover from as a couple. But if you move when things are so bad, that too can create resentments of one another --  a lost chance to escape a marriage that is not going well, you may resent him more for uprooting you, etc.  Lots of couples with no problems sometimes relocate one at a time - so there is a natural flow to that approach.
