I think that sentence probably is the most accurate description. I've been separated twice, but in both cases, I was very clear that it was what I wanted - the divorce was no rush in the first instance, and we both stayed friends (still are very good friends), but I think if you get to that stage, separation is generally going to confirm what you knew in the first place.
Hi,
Yes I agree, when I left my ex, I think there was a feeling that it was short term but I knew from the min I left I wasn't going back, no matter what I said I think there was some hope that I would.
I have never had a trial seperation as I always tried to work through things, until there is no hope left.
