Will try and keep it short. DH has decided he doesn't love me anymore (has a history of depression and no model relationship to go from).
We have been together for 12 years and have two DCs. I am absolutely gutted.
We've been having a difficult time: DH got made redundant last year, got himself a new job with a lot less pay and still pressure to pay the mortgage etc; my father died in May so it's all been a bit stressful but this has become this has come as a real shock to me.
He seems so much 'lighter' since telling me and although I'm finding it very difficult I do understand. I am trying to be strong and objective and calm for our children but in reality I am extremely emotional.
The solution that he has come up with for the short term as we cannot live apart due to financial reasons is that he built himself a bedsit type thing in our large workshop in the garden.
This is the part I'm not sure about.
Does anyone have experience of living together after separation, preferably positive, so that I can gain some strength?
Ultimately he hasn't done anything wrong to me and I want the best solution for our two young DCs. I see this as a temporary measure until the spring to give us both a bit of space where we can then make decisions about the future.
Sorry for the long post and thank you so much for your comments.
