When the goal is positivity

[JulieH]

We had not been getting along for a while. He was asking for space and I was pursuing and pushing for relationship talks. I made a inappropriate and passive agressive comment to him that definatly hit a sensitive spot about how he was not spending time with kids. It made him furious. That night he told me he needed to leave. I said fine. He was all happy and really nice about things and then 20 min later I begged him not to leave and showed him all these articles about why physical separation was the worst thing to do.

A few weeks later he left. He had initially told me the goal was reconciliation. I did pursue in beginning and did things that made it worse.
