what are the thoughts on me going away for the week (stay in a friends spare room) leaving a note saying, needed some time and space please feed the pets, and then being away for 5 or 6 nights. I would hope it will help reality set in for him that he can’t just keep going on these trips and maybe he will then have an opportunity to miss me and not just be distracted by another trip. I’m lost on this one.
My thoughts are it won't make a difference. 5 or 6 days of you not being there will have no impact on him. If you are doing it for YOU then that's OK, but don't do it because you're hoping it'll "wake him up". There is no magic pill, it's going to take him many months or even years to come out of the fog.
