Hi

Just wanted to know whether this has happened to anyone. Has a separation actually helped you to resolve any conflicts within your relationship/marriage and brought you closer together with your partner? Did you get back together after a separation then regret it afterwards? Or anything else related really. Just looking for peoples experience as to give me perspective and make me more realistic.

I think after a certain amount of time apart, especially if they've been with someone else, you'll end up as just a backup plan. Who wants to be somebody's second choice?

Yes lots of outside family influences, both drinking to much, lack of trust and respect. We were separated for 10 months and were getting divorced. We decided to give it another go we had been married 4 years prior to separation. Back together now for 6 years and things are great we have both changed for the better and really love and appreciate each other. Moving to Crete next year x

Old thread (didn't realise) but enjoyed reading anyway and will answer for anyone reading.
We split a few times in my late teens/early 20s..for a few weeks at a time and got back together. It was always due to him texting other people. We then split start of the year for 3 months, him saying its because of a MLC and MH issues. We got back together in March and it was awful for 7 months. I found out 3 weeks ago hes texting one of them women from my late teens AGAIN. So yes its over for good this time. People rarely change.
