I agreed to a three month separation to save our marriage. My W seemed eager to fix things when I left. I even turned down a job in town to move to the next city over w/ my sister.

One week later she declared she was "done trying." She wanted a divorce as soon as possible. I begged and she relented, for one day and then was right back to being done w/ me.

Beware the controlled separation.
