My wife and I have been in separate bedrooms for 6 months now. Still share meals, household duties and errands though. It’s better than having her move out, and I'm not going anywhere. Less expensive and better chance to reconcile, IMO. But then we aren’t fighting either, she just prefers to ignore me and do her own thing.

Maybe sit down with him and set up some rules on how it will work. Don’t be afraid to set expectations, requirements and/or boundaries. You do have a say in this.

M: A really long time.
Crisis: 5 years.
