This is a long story, but will try to keep it short! Met dh when we were 19, he was my 1st serious boyfriend, I was his 1st serious girlfriend, been together ever since, married 9 years ago, 2 kids under 8. Work together in our own business. Things have been rocky since working together, got really bad last year & I told him I wanted to separate. He got angry, then tearful, said he couldn't live without me & begged me not to go. could not bear to hurt him so agreed to work it out. He is not a bad person, he's a great Dad but when I look at him I feel nothing and that we've grown apart. I've asked him to go to Relate and he won't,says we don't have a problem. I can't live with him anymore & want a trial separation, The problem is, I don't want to leave the home so as not to disrupt the kids but we work from home so there will not be a clean break, if that makes sense. I'm so confused. I really don't want to hurt him but I need to start living my life, instead of his. Has anyone had a trial separation - did it help? Advice please girls & boys! Apologies for rambling. Quickly writing while he's popped out!
