If you asked DH/DP to temporarily leave did it help?

[appledumpling]

We have just been through an awful time caused entirely by DH. I desperately need some space away from him so I can sort various things out in my head.

The only place I could go with the children is my parents but they are saying some fairly unpleasant things about DH. Most of these things are true and the gist of the rest of it is also justified but I don't think that is what I need right now. I could end up making a decision I will live to regret.

I think the only logical thing is for DH to move out for a little while. Has anyone been though this? Where did your DH/DP go? Did it help you get your head straight?

I think we will need some sort of marriage counselling but I feel too angry/upset/confused to contemplate it right now.

I never thought we would end up like this. I just want to do right by the children.

Have no idea how to help but am bumping for you.

You are being very sensible not to go to your parents and therefor not let your children hear bad things about their father.

Am sure you will make the right choice.

Good luck and take care

Have a look for flame's recent threads... she and her dh are currently having a short term separation, and someone came on there to post how positive it had been for their marriage.
I'm sorry you're going through this.

Thank you. If my parents were a little more balanced in their outlook I would go there but they aren't. Will look up the threads you mentioned.
