Wow! 6.5 years. I'm on month 4, and I've been very anxious recently about Hs complete lack of communication with anything but logistics. I want to shake him and say "What are your plans! Are you working on what's making you so unhappy!" But, I won't, of course. Not the DBing thing to do. I was reading up on long-term separation just last night. My biggest question about that is how does one truly live their life on their own terms when they do not divorce? I also would have a problem dating if I was still married. Regardless of what H does in that regard, I think it would be a breach of vows even if separated for long-term. I'm curious how you deal with this?
It's nice to here from someone that is making a long-term separation work, though. As I posted on my own thread, several people have asked me how long I plan to "let this go on". It's tiresome.
