Hi all,
I posted last October as me and DP had decided to separate (we have 2 young boys) and I was feeling a little worried about having to tell people etc (that feeling of being a failure etc despite knowing in your heart of hearts that it is the right thing to do).
Well, fast forward to now, and we're still under the same roof. Ex P isn't able to move out yet (job uncertainty) though it should be by the end of the year. I'm exhausted. I feel as though lives are in limbo and I'm still worrying about everything. Eldest boy starts school in September, so I'm naturally worried about that and how he'll adapt. I'm worried about having to break the news to the boys when ExP does move out (though we'll be co parenting, so there isn't going to be any change in the day to day arrangements, which I am thankful for). I'm worried about the future (being on my own etc). Things are ok between us, but I suppose I'm just fed up that things are taking so long. I know I'm not the first and I won't be the last to be in this situation, and I am grateful that I am not in the position that a lot of people are. I suppose I'm just looking for a bit of advice from people have been separated but co habiting for longer than just a few months....
