Thank you Maika for the advice. You make a really good point re grief. I do see a IC from time to time, taken a break from it now. Found the counsel bit draining just focused on the negative.

The MC we went to was a disaster - we both didn't have separation or divorce in ind when we first went or at least I didn't have she gave us a piece of paper on our second visit saying we had 4 options - 1. Let things stay as they were 2. Reconcile 3. Seperate 4. Divorce

I found it so overwhelming to have to suddenly choose 1 to work on...My h said seperate sounds best and that's where we are now. Living together but separate
