How to survive separation
My wife gave me a choice between separation and divorce a couple days ago. I choose separation (different bedroom) knowing this is my fault (no affair). We have 1 kid under 3 and have been married for 10 years.
For the first day or two I cried my fair share at how I have mess up and regretted not being able to fix myself even after doing couple therapy for a year. Today I spot her crying alone and she has been in a state of what I call depression, tired, haven’t really ate, etc.
I’ve tried my best with keeping the kid away from her, cook meals and even prep them. I am a lost of what to do once Monday comes.
She doesn’t talk to me, avoids me like the plague and I have to go back to work on Monday. She is a stay at home mom.
For background: she is going to have custody of the kid if it comes to divorce and she said she can figure it out and preserve if needed. She will be fine financially.
What can I do to survive, thrive and maybe woo her back?
