Does separation make the heart grow fonder?

As much as I love DH, he is very difficult to live with. Life has become somewhat embattled, because of his impractical and unhelpful ways. Been wondering recently about couples who live apart, from choice more than necessity? With some kind of weekend/ monthly visitation arrangement. Anyone out there like this? How does it work for you? Peaceful and well managed or lonely and miserable?

Forgot to mention that it I started a Paleo diet 2 months ago and as crazy as it sounds it has made a HUGE difference to my energy levels and presence of mind...might be worth a look...

It's good to know there are others in similar situations.

DH has a shed he uses sometimes. It needs more work to be fully usable all the time. I really like the idea of weekend getaways. I will work on this. Thank you.

We are already looking into a paleo diet, been recommended by a nutritionist. Thank you.

So, after much talking, again, DH is now making an effort to be more present. I am hoping he finds it rewarding enough to stay this way!
