I have to agree w/ Sox. I think you are thinking of doing this as a test of your H and my opinion is that that is for the wrong reasons. If you were saying you were doing it totally for YOU and to give yourself time to think and figure out how you are feeling, etc. then maybe . . . sometimes separation is good, but sometimes not.

How are you going to feel if H decides that he likes it better this way?

How old are your children and what affect is this going to have on them and what are they going to think is going on?

I would hold off, see what he says about the Retroville thing. What if he says yes that he wants to do that? I would say leaving then would not be a good idea.

The other thing I would suggest is a heart-to-heart. Maybe you need to just sit down and ask him straight out what he wants to do as far as your M goes.
