I've been married three yrs, together 7, 2 beautiful children, and despite what the subject says still a lot of love and respect for each other.
Its a set of complicated emotions, as i'm sure everyone can agreed but we arn't the couple we once were, I believe I love H but not in love with him.
I don't want to chuck the towel in right now, it might be repairable but I think we need time apart. Space.
We have discussed him moving out and us taking a break. I think its the best step really BUT i'm scared of how the kids will react. What do I tell them. Its going to be so confusing for them. H will still want/need to be around a fair bit, not only for the kids sake but also because he has them while im at works a couple times a week. Also how will I cope financially? We will be separated but with the intention of trying to work things out. I will need some government help financially but how will this look to outside eyes? I don't want to get into trouble for trying to help my marriage but at the same time I really think we need to do this.
