About 3 months ago, my husband of 5 years (dating for 13) decided he didn't want to be with me anymore. He's been staying at friends houses, sleeping at his business, and once in a while sleeps in the guest bedroom. We also have a one year old. We started therapy a little while ago, and the decision he and the therapist made was to do a more "formal" separation where he gets his own place. It seems like he just wants a break from the marriage, a chance to see what it's like to be single and then maybe come back in a few months. I'm not thrilled with that idea, but I'm not ready to pull the plug. So I guess my question is, can anything good come out of "taking a break" from marriage and coming back to work on it after the break?
