Hi all I'm wondering how to respond if partner says he wants to leave... should I:
say, "Go ahead, if you want, but I can't guarantee my availability if you decide to come back" (and mean it)
Suggest calmly that if they want to work out their problems, it is better to do it together while still in the same house
Just say, "fine, just do what you need to" let them go and cop it on the chin (context: in this case the modus operandi for dealing with all problems for him is to run away and leave, usually for holidays, and not deal with the problem).
Help them pack?! (especially if a part of you is feeling angry with them anyway).
any other ways to handle it? (clearly not beg, pout, scream, etc)
