southskinsfan Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 How do you tell the woman you have been married to for 21 years that you would like to seperate for awhile? No other women are involved so I feel comfortable in knowing I am making a decision based on the head located on my shoulders. I am just tired of being a robot and life is tooo short.

redskin56 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I don't know how you tell it; however, I do know that you should be wearing a bullet proof vest at the time you chose to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoony Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 21 years? There is no advice for such a thing. Are there alternatives to separating? Could you work on your marriage perhaps? ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense intended... but do ya think you're just coming down with a mid-life crisis? Do you really think separation is the answer, if that's the case? For all you know, your wife may be having similar feelings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brave Little Toaster Oven Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 get really mad over the smallest thing and say 'thats it, im moving into a hotel!' she will think everything is her fault and try to make you stay...therefore, you will get practically anything you want (including a short break).

After 21 years I'd say you owe your wife and yourself a serious, sincere conversation about the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I agree with Ren wholeheartedly. I don't think there's any such thing as "separating for a while". Whatever you decide, do it respectfully. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmacop Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Just be honest and upfront. You owe her that much. If you haven't already, perhaps you can try marriage counseling before taking such a large step as a "separation," which as Bang said is highly unlikely to save the marriage, if it can be saved at all. At least if you do that and still want to be apart at the end, you can know that you gave it your best shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armstrong001 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Check out www.retrouvaille.org first. If you would like to continue the marriage, but don't think it'll work, you may just need some help sorting things out. You owe it to her (and the last 21 years of your life) to try to fix things.

Veretax Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Why do you want to be separate for a while? Without knowing the reasons why it would be difficult to give a good explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spjunkies Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 After 21 years I'd say you owe your wife and yourself a serious, sincere conversation about the situation. I totally agree. It would be cold as hell IMO to just give up and run from the situation. Talk to your wife and see if there us any possibility of making things work. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
