Dom,
I'm intrigued by the advice on the not moving out. I was just trying to follow some of your threads to figure out your situation. Read a little and it sounds like you were separated in the beginning. Was just wondering if you could maybe give some details on why separation was bad for you.


D.,

both the statistics, and other marriage counselling sites/books, say that it is waaaay more difficult to recover a marriage, once physical separation takes place.

its not so much a "why is it bad for ME" question. it's more a "why is it bad for EVERYONE" kinda thing.


I posed the 80% number, as copied from someone else here recently. maybe it isnt quite accurate in non-legal ones.
I do seem to recall that in the case of a "legal separation", THOSE are something like 90% headed for divorce.
