[quote=Anonymous]Wow OP… many of these responses are pretty intense.  15 years ago I read Joan Anderson's book  A year by The Sea.   I wish I had red it a bit earlier.  I was married to my college sweetheart and just wasn't clear about what a wanted (no children though).    In the right marriage, with conversation, this is absolutely an ok option to take a break.   It doesn't have to be a year; what about the fall?   Just a time when you are not taking care of anyone and just reflecting in.  Your husband can visit.  Have him read the book with you and explain that is what you are looking for.   Just a year for you.     There are no guarantees in what your actions will cause it terms of his feelings and actions - but that is up to him.  I think it sounds lovely.   I wish I had done it instead of leaving my marriage, which I did instead.   And in hindsight the year would have saved the marriage.  I truly believe that.    Do it, journal about it before you do it, both of you read Joan Anderson's book.  Do what is right for you.[/quote]
