Married, then separated, now getting on great BUT...

...We're getting on great since we agreed to separate but we're not having sx at all...our sx life wasn't good while we were married either. We're in separate bedrooms but we still go out for dinner, watch TV together, cook for one another, wake each other up etc. It's become clear that we need each other BUT...

We had an awful time of it before we agreed to separate. I felt taken for granted, unheard and I got tired of H's temper. There was so much conflict and crying. I felt like I couldn't get angry because he was always the angry one. H felt like I was 'too much to take,' emotionally needy and all in all, it wasn't going well.

So, where the hell do we go from here?

The reason we're still living together is that I cannot move out until I find somewhere to live, which is taking quite a while (crazy housing situation where we live), so it could be another few months...

I'm afraid I'll go back on the decision to separate (he wants to 'work on things') and I'll slip in to a childless, sex-less 'marriage' and look back on this when I'm 80 and think WHAT THE HELL DID I DO?

I'd really appreciate your experience, advice, thoughts or whatever you've got! Flowers

And a lot of posters giving advice are separated/divorced. We speak from experience.

Thanks for your response. I just feel a little at sea with all of this.

I know I have to pull myself together, find a place to buy and move out of here. I need to detach but god it’s hard. I just didn’t imagine I’d be in this situation at almost 40 & without kids.
