Are regrets when you end a separation normal?

OTM, i'm heading to bed, but wanted to agree that yes, moving out does seem VERY drastic. my H said he felt like it was his only option and it hurts me so much that he couldn't or wouldn't stay for at least a while and try to work things out. but we live in a very small space and he felt like he had no where to go to think with a clear mind. if you can find that kind of space in your home, and tell your W you are off limits during certain hours so you can be alone and think or read or whatever it is you need to do, i would suggest that. moving out means business and i can only imagine that your children would be very confused if you did, since they are all relatively young. are you still sharing a bedroom with your W?

my H slept on the couch off and on for a few weeks and then POOF! he was gone. just like that. being on the other end of that...really really hurts.
