I do agree with Alex on til death do us part. We took the oath and I am having to live by that to and its hard sometimes knowing I took that when my W wants to get out of this and be with OM down the road. Its hard to swallow spending the rest of my life alone. However, I also think there are times when separation is best to let someone work on themselves. And right now, your H needs to work on himself. He has some major issues that he needs to clean up so that he can come back to you a better man. I hope he takes advantage of this. Its actually a gift he is being given and he needs to realize that. I'm not so fortunate to get the gift from my wife because when she did give it to me over a year ago, it didn't dawn on my how serious she was and just how much trouble our marriage was in. Now it has dawned on me and I realize everything and I am basically begging for that gift one last time to use it wisely. And so far, she is not giving in. Ugg. I have made so many changes and she tells me she has seen changes before.

The last time, she said it was ok for me to have some drinks now and then and I took it to far. This time, I have not been touching it even though she has told me it is ok. I refuse to and have refused to. I'm done with the alcohol. She is welcomed to partake. I help out around the house, clean, cook, do laundry, am involved with the kids, have a better relationship with them, have worked to try different things that interest my wife and things that could make us more compatible only to have her close the door on each thing I suggest.

Your H is lucky. Have I already said that? I wish I could talk to him and just tell him how lucky he is to have this gift. I'd take it in a heartbeat. I'd give anything for that.
