I am pretty new to this whole thing too so I'm not sure how much help I can be. My husband and I are going to counseling for the first time tomorrow morning. . .
We have been seperated for almost a month and have only seen each other one time. However we have talked on the phone. When I first moved out we only argued on the phone and now we are still only having small conversations but I make a point to keep things positive and to the point and not drag him into a relationship conversation. You can do the same thing, especially when you go out once a week. Give him the space he needs. I know it is hard because I am in the same spot but it's essential and I have been learning so much about myself since moving out and it's been wonderful to get perspective. It's the best thing you can do right now for you and your marriage.
One question for you. How often are you going to counseling?
