DH and I have decided to have a trial separation, and he is moving out into a flat nearby in about ten days (he's renting for 6 months). We have three dcs aged 8 & 6. Can anyone offer advice on what we should tell them, and when? Should I speak to them alone or should dh and I talk to them together?
Things are pretty amicable between us still and we're both optimistic the marriage might be salvageable.....so should we tell the dcs this, or prepare them for the possibility their dad and I might not ever live together again?
