Is seperation always the end

[Drainedbeyond]

Hi just wondered if people ever work out marriage difficulties and come back together after a seperation or if once a break has occured where you move out of the family home there really is no point to trying again?

Kinda reached a point of wondering whether reconciliation after seperation is some kind of fairytale and its a pointless goal as people myself included can never change.....

People can and do change all the time situations are fluid. I seperated from my husband and reconciled after 6 months. I changed but the oruginal problems on my husbands side did not so it sadly broke down again. You broke up for a reason so unless the problems are resolved it will stay the same. Work on yourself and how you contrubuted to break up? But partner has to do same? Is is practical emotional etc? You were attracted to each other in the begginning so guess that could be rekindled. Often it needs time and space. Back off maybe and work on healing and if you get back together wirk on a new and better relatiobship? My best friend reconciled with her ex husband after 8 years and having a marriage inbetween! They happier than ever but they had both grown immensly in thhe 8 years and have left the past behind. They communicate better than before and have stronger boundaries. I hope whatever happens you can find happiness 😀

My mum and step dad split up for a few years when I was a teenager due to my step dad's alcoholism. They kept in contact during that time as friends as they still worked together but weren't in a relationship. Situations changed and my step dad stopped drinking, made positive changes in his lifestyle etc etc and they decided to get back together. I think it worked for them because they didn't break up because of fundamental personality differences or disagreements, it was pretty much just the alcoholism and my step dad not handling his at the time stressful life very well so once those factors where taken out of the equation they still got along really well and cared about each other Neither of them saw anyone else while they were split up though which made a difference too I suspect

In my experience and those I've seen, separation can result in reconciliation though often it's brief as the original problems resurface. I have been much happier to move on and start dating, meet someone new. My ex was never going to be the man I met again.

This depends upon the reasons for the separation

What were the reasons op?

I think it depends on what the reason for the original separation is and whether both are willing to work on themselves not just at the point of separation but for the rest of the relationship

I think it depends on the reason for separation. And also whether or not they will be dating other people during the break.
