Just after some advice.
Marriage issues for a long time, infidelity on his part a long time ago, I never got over, resentment, all that jazz etc.
We've been in separate rooms for a few months and we are now getting along a lot better and coparent well. We are less and things just seem more content.
I still can't get on board with the idea of any intimacy though and so essentially we are a sexless marriage with separate sleeping arrangements.
I decided we need to make a call and define what we are a little bit, more to set boundary.
I've said that I want the separate rooms to be permanent and to recognise that right now, we are not a married couple.
Question is, how is best to do this/any tips.
We can't afford to separate further on the living arrangements because of all the mortgage rates and as we get along well it seems like this is the easiest option to still keep things as they are for the kids as we come to terns with things.
I don't want to end up in a different state of limbo because we are "separated" yet still living together, but I don't think that we can really sort an alternative yet so just want to make the best of what we can.
So far no nastiness, but I'm aware that can change quite quickly and unexpectedly.
