Is a trial separation survivable?
Good morning fellow degenerates. My AP of 6 years has just announced her trial seperation much to her, her family's and my surprise. She's doing it for her, not me, as we both know I have 7 years to go until my youngest is out of the nest.
I want nothing but the best for her and it doesn't see like right moment to ask about our future plans; it's all pretty raw and she probably just doesn't acutally know. She seems excited to share this new stage of her life with me, but I can't, no matter how hard I try or how many reddit threads I read, get rid of the knot in my stomach that tells me a timer has been started on the really good thing we have going on.
Whether there is heartbreak to endure or not, I'd like really to remember this time of our lives as the happy memory it was and avoid a jealous or resentful finale. What's the gentlemanly move here?
