M44 separated for 8 weeks now from a 10 year relationship, we have a beautiful 3 year old daughter and a beautiful home in paradise! We moved to the end of the earth (New Zealand) in 2018 and love it here but have no family and no support.
I moved out to give her the space she wanted. I am mostly to blame for the break down and will openly admit to this. I’m doing the work I need to do now for me to become a better human regardless of the outcome. There has never been any cheating on either part even though the sex has been non existent for years. I am still in love with her and still want her!
Am I wrong for asking that through the separation we both remain faithful and loyal to one another and do the work we both need to do for ourselves and each other without getting involved with other people?
I would have expected an instant yes but got argued with about it and in the end she kind of agreed. However if two people really love each other and are separating to work on them selves surely being committed to remaining faithful to each other shouldn’t even be in question?
What’s your thoughts and feelings on this?
