[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello, don't know where you are in the process now, but since you ask with some inquisitiveness, which I'll take as a small grain of hope, separation can led to reconciliation. As someone else mentioned, you'll have to work together usually with the assistance of counseling.  I had a friend's who's separation ended up with their coming back together.  It lasted about six months or a little more and they both worked on each other separately and had moments where they dated (not necessarily in a romantic sense, but to discuss things and come to some agreements) and also sought counseling.  My friend used this period to make clear what her boundaries were and expectations (and I assume he did the same).  So know, it doesn't have to led to divorce. And if you haven't already done so, meet with your spouse and both agree to get support and work together towards reconciliation (but you need to want it).  I'll say a prayer! ;)[/quote]

+1, I am currently in a very similar situation as this person describes. I moved out and have been living in my own place. We are in couples therapy and I am about to start individual. We have a son and we split the custody 50/50. I think we are making a lot of progress. My husband clearly understands what the issues are and so do I. The space has given us the chance to do a lot of soul searching. We still do some things as a family and also do date nights here and there when we can. We are working at rebuilding a friendship. I am still not sure yet what the outcome is going to be, but I am a supporter of doing a trail separation. Good luck to you! [/quote]
