It's a gift because it's a wake-up call. It's a gift because it will make YOU a better person. I recently had a friend comment with envy on how much I had learned and gained through my separation. Believe me, I was set for life with this woman, I've two kids with her. I did NOT want this separation. But I also acknowledge that it has made me a better person, a better partner. Another friend who got separated 8 years ago said it well: He has a new set of lights on his dashboard that tell him when he's doing wrong. That's a good thing.
You're so early in your sitch, all you see is the hurt and anger and pain. Just keep in mind that it's a gift and that you can become a better person through this ordeal.
For now, post your story. We'll discuss then.
