My opinion... the only shot you have of saving your marriage is if you agree to move out ASAP. That will give each of you a chance to work on yourselves and prepare you for a much better marriage.



Fish... separation may have eventually worked out positive for you. Or, at least for the moment.
However, for most people, it doesnt.
So, I would caution you against a mindset where you think that separation is a wonderful tool to repair marriages.

Think about it... If you would have separated 3 months ago, you may have been back together in another 3 months (took me 6 months). START NOW.


again... just because YOUR marriage took 6 months of separation to bring it back together. doesnt mean that is some kind of magic number, where all marriages will be fixed after 6 months of separation.
