Hi, NC for this
I have posted before about difficulties in my and DW's relationship, and at a stage now where I think I (we?) need a trial separation. Without getting into the reasons as previously posted, it really would be a trial and not an engineered leaving. But a practical question, because two options available seem to be:
- stay at my sibling's. Only relative or friend that lives nearby, so good for being able to share care for DC at weekends or whenever we agree during separation. Also, money is tight atm. OTOH it might not give me the space and solitude to really understand and think about things. Also, I'd have to tell them something if I'm staying with them;
- Find a B&B or similar. Means I would be by myself to get the 'big picture', but probably £1,000 for a month (say) and that's hard to find.
I really don't know how I'm gong to feel if I (we?) do this so it's hard to predict where I'm better being to get the right headspace to take it all in. Clearly sorting this out is more important than money if it's the right way to go about it.
Any experiences you can share?
