Want to separate now during lockdown

[jellybabi]

My marriage is over. He won't accept it even though I've been making it clear for months. Just shows how dismissed my existence is. Anyway my plan was to kick things off beginning April and now obviously in lockdown. I've tried to make it work in this crazy time bit not sure I can do it? Anyone else doing a mid-lockdown split? Or any advice please...so down and desperate now.

Do you mean you have tried to make the relationship work? Because if it wasn't working in normal times, I doubt it will work now!

Are you able to leave at the moment? If not, you can still talk to him and say the relationship is over. You could use the time to talk to each other about your practical plans for splitting up, maybe?

The thing is, he may not " want to accept it" but if you keep telling him and talking about plans post split he will have to. He can't make you stay.

Yes, me. Did it 10 days ago, he's sad but gradually has accepted it. We are sleeping separately, we are giving each other space and still doing counselling which helps. Thing is there's nothing really wrong, just years of resentment and him not supporting me, crap communication and now I've got the ick. We are very civil, but seeing him so sad and down has not been easy.
I'm getting out for a run every day which is essential, as we both need space.
We are going to try to talk once a week about practical stuff, but have agreed too there's no rush. Nothing to be done anyway.
I do keep questioning myself over how I feel, if it's the right choice.. But a lot of that is fear of the unknown really.
Plus it's this suffocating situation we are in.
