How do we manage a 'break'?

2 replies

IsItWine0ClockSoon · 05/08/2020 20:48

So, long story short, hubby and I have just sat down and had a chat. We have been at each others' throats for a long time, there is a lot of frustration, resentment and annoyance between us and it has become unhealthy for us both. We are very different and tend to clash on most things which, with 2 young children, is not the way either of us want our life to go. We both agree that we are good people and that we don't want to end up hating each other so we have decided to have a break. Luckily, we have a spare room so neither of us will move out but we are clueless about how to navigate this situation.
Has anyone done this before?
I'm desperate for some advice as, ultimately, we want it to somehow bring us back together rather than end us for good!
Help please!

Have you considered couples counselling? It will give you a safe space to talk through your issues and try and come up with some resolutions

We've had couples' counseling recently and it only stopped because of lockdown. We have decided to contact our counselor again and make another appointment. Fingers crossed.
