Reconciliation :
Wondering if R was right for me. Anyone done a trial separation to see what feels right?

His A just keeps haunting me and I find my love for him is waning. I do have ups and downs of emotions, but I mostly find myself feeling sad and mad about his A. I want to look at his phone. I want to yell at him. I want to scream and cry and uggg. It sucks.

Logistically it would be a nightmare, but I wonder about a trial separation to see how I feel. Heck, I even thought of 2 weeks in VRBO somewhere by myself (with my dog of course!) to see, but that is not really enough time. It would be like a nice vacation and who wouldn’t like that!

Just curious if anyone has tried a separation before deciding if R or D is what you want.

Thanks!

Two weeks in a "therapeutic separation" apart was enough for us to get clarity on R.

We expected to go longer.

Love is not a measure of capacity for pain you are willing to endure for your partner.
