Spellfire,

Thanks for checking in on me - it has been a very tough going of late. Hope your situation is progressing better than mine. I checked in our thread a few times, but I didn't post since, as you can read, I don't have anything good to offer with advice.

Anyway, I had thought about bringing this one up, but wasn't sure how to do it without making it sound like a threat.

One of my consistent messages, to the point she raised it as something I repeated very often, was that I believe in the marriage and believe that it can work.

How about something like this:

Right now, I see how we are both hurting. The hurt that we feel when being rejected by the one that we love builds resentment over time. I know that a loving marriage relationship needs to have both people free from resentment and hurt. While I may not agree with the separation, I do understand her need to have the space and freedom to work out issues.

Too subtle? Any thoughts?
