[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does he think will improve with his life if he separates? Does he plan to date or he just wants 50% of the time to himself? Can he have a separate basement or in law suite? [/quote]

These all are good questions.  I personally would find it extremely painful to remain married to my husband if he was no longer in love with me and my love for him was one sided.  I also generally don’t think staying for the kids is a good plan because kids learn about their own relationships from their parents and suffer in a tense household.

BUT, the way you describe your household, it doesn’t seem tense at all and it also seems that you all spend a good amount of time together as a family, you and your DH are respectful to one another when your kids are around, etc.  Given this, remaining married might be the best thing for your kids, even if it’s not the best situation for you.  I would try to figure out what your DH hopes to gain from separating and see if there is a way he can achieve that while staying married.  If he’s really just looking for more alone time to read and hike, that’s pretty doable.  [/quote]
