I'm glad you posted this video. Im currently in this phase and I never realized a trial separation could be so beneficial. Honestly I thought it was just dragging it out, creating more harm. I now see I was wrong and was able to reframe it as a possible positive option.

Do not date while separated, honor your marriage

@michelepaiva136 Жыл бұрын

I respectfully disagree. If someone wants to date they need to separate and look at potentially legal separation. Denying needs is only going to cause more issues.

⁠⁠@@michelepaiva136: You just proved my disgust for you with this reply . A separation is really to make it easier for the dumper. You don’t want to divorce because you’re afraid that your back up options are not going to work. You’re a terrible person. A marriage takes two. Once one party gives up, I don’t see the point of appeasing the other. If you want to “date” other people start the divorce process. Be open with your partner. You know you don’t love them anymore so why just not let them go? That’s right you’re scared of your plan not working out. The truth is women and men like you who propose a separation want permission to cheat. If you’re so unhappy leave the marriage and divorce. You don’t care about your partner or as you say the “other person”. All you care about is your “needs”. Meanwhile the “other person” who you married could be having a mental breakdown on the verge of suicide, but let me guess you don’t care. As long as you’re happy. Your advice is gross and toxic.

I'm in a "soft" separation, sleeping separately and staying busy. I'm gradually spending more time in the garage, the gym, stopping by the store, and other errands after work. I'm going for runs early in the morning and trying to lead my daughters in devotions, prayer, and exercise. I also work a second job on the weekends. I'm not ok with seeing anyone else. My intention is to give my wife and I a chance to feel distant and see if we don't reawaken and take our marriage more seriously. I love her, but I can't handle her indifference to our home, our family, and our marriage. However, she's told me before that she doesn't think she could make it without me. I don't think she's a narcissist, but often makes narcissistic, self-serving choices. We all do from time to time in my opinion, but it's not where we want to be. I'm hoping this can be the nudge she needs, when my words fall short, to show her where this is going to lead us.

@Paiva.TheFinanceTherapistLLC 10 ай бұрын

Very healthy outlook. Make sure if she’s indifferent that this doesn’t become a new normal though. Is her indifference perhaps depression or attachment struggles? What was her childhood like?

@compassandradio6261 10 ай бұрын

@michelepaiva great question. I'm obviously not the expert here, but subscribing to Taise Gibson's Personal Development School, I've suspected she's a DA. Both parents worked, and she was often left to herself after school. She also suffers from Graves disease. She exhibits passive narcissistic tendencies. I would consider myself to be an FA. The only girls who ever wanted me were "bad girls." I wanted better. Today, I'm politely avoiding a female co-worker who's interested but doesn't want to interfere... I guess. I usually don't initiate conversations with her, but she's a great gal with similar values to my own. I'm just really focused on saving this marriage. It would be the best case scenario.

@@compassandradio6261 Graves can wreak havoc on her emotions, as you know. Is that being addressed by an endo or her family physician? I would look at that FIRST.

@compassandradio6261 10 ай бұрын

@michelepaiva yes. I take a day off work to take her to see her endocrinologist. She encouraged her to take walks or do something to exercise. The kids and I have both tried to get her to walk with us, but she can't/won't listen. She said her doctor was wrong, and in my frustration, I told her to find one that won't tell her to exercise. That's a small battle. I'm not going to fight with her about her own health. Edit: That didn't answer your question. No. At least I'm not aware of the emotional side effects being addressed.

My wife wants a trial separation to figure out our future together. I have not given her the love and attention she needs and deserves. She is emotionally done and doesn’t know if she wants a future with me or with someone new. I am working on becoming the best person I can be for myself and my daughter. I hope she will find it in her heart to give me that second chance at doing it the right way but not sure if the walls she has put up are to high and to thick.

Wow, I hope you can work it out. Most of the men commenting here are bitter and cruel, but you actually seem to care. I hope you've been able to at least figure out a good friendship or something. I know most men aren't as jealous as the others commenting here, because my ex and I are doing OK as friends and housemates. With love and hard work, the friendship after divorce or separation can be good.

Divorce your wife and start seeing other people. She would never put you in this situations if she loved you. Your wife sounds like a covert narcissist. Please move on. She will come back if you file and start dating. She will get jealous. You’re a good looking man, you can get plenty of women. Your wife knows this, and is insecure. Take your power back and not beg or appease.

@Paiva.TheFinanceTherapistLLC Жыл бұрын

Decipher why you might want that.. is it frustration? Maybe an in-home trial, living like roommates, with agreement not to date. Give it a timeframe. Two months. Revisit what you want & what you miss. Check my weekly zen newsletter at MuddyPath.Org I believe in love & it sounds like you do, too. Maybe separation isn’t fight at all for you.

She do not want a divorce she just wants a legal separation so she says if we could still work it out,granted what she wants because i was thinking about our kids.

@randomAnnanoumousDude2134 Жыл бұрын

Mine started smoking sausages but now wants back because nobody else would commit to her. Yes she was overwhelmed too, but I got blamed for everything and now she thinks since she wants to come back, claiming it was all due to past trauma. I’m trying but it’s hard to be sexually attracted to someone who would betray you like that. Still living apart 1.5 years later. I’m still waiting for her to treat me like the prize instead of an ATM. I should have divorced at the outset, I would have been farther along in my IC. When they start losing weight, and being distant just file for divorce. Grass is always greener for modern women. Get cash and prizes when they leave, so there is zero reason to stay when this starts up men. Recovery from this shit takes years, do you really want to do this, or just punch out? I personally love having control over my own life again and not going back to the plantation. Hindsight, never get married in the first place, it’s impossible to keep a woman happy, just be happy yourself by yourself. If she loves you she will follow you without marriage. Women file for 80% of divorces, and 90% of college educated woman file. They can’t pair bond, miss the excitement of sleeping around,and get rewarded for leaving. If I knew all this before I got married I wouldn’t have gotten married. Once they stop trying to work on the marriage, it’s a very long road to reconciliation, and statistically you have a 7% chance of success. Once she’s “not happy” she will cheat when separated, just go for divorce and take your life lesson. And don’t even get married again.

@scottbachmann1962 Жыл бұрын

Horrible advice. A “trial” separation is a disingenuous first step to divorce. Men, do not enter into a contract with someone who knows that she can get cash and prizes for breaking it.

@Paiva.TheFinanceTherapistLLC Жыл бұрын

Respectfully disagree, despite your bitterness and rudeness. In fact, if you somehow gave someone "cash and prizes" for breaking the "contract" with you, are you saying she did not deserve anything? So you didn't value her? You wanted her to stay with you even though you didn't love her? Do you hear yourself? If you loved her, you'd feel compassion and want her happy even without you in her life. If she was truly a horrible person, then the pittance you gave her was worth it to be free. Either way, it isn't always the man who gives up money. Regarding your advice, men can enter contracts with men and/or women in marriage or business, and yes, everyone can leave a contract. It's not slavery pal.
