[quote=Anonymous]Separation is not an answer.  Do you even know the question?  It's not only "do I want to continue to be married to this person" - it's everything that goes along with it - the parenting/family dynamics, the lifestyle, the mental/emotional/sexual fulfillment etc

Separation is a a way for you to get the taste of the alternative - what would it be if the answer to the above question is no?  What does that look and feel like?  In terms of where we would be living, how we would be living, the daily demands on my time and energy, the support systems that would be there.  That's what separation does - it drives you to answer the question, "what do you want??"

Then, you can work on getting from here to there - either counseling, commitment, a great divorce attorney - whatever it is, it will suck up a lot of your future life.  Be prepared for it to consume you at times.

Don't just passively accept what you foresee is the inevitable.  Own it, and make your path work for you.  [/quote]
