have you had a long seperation from your partner/ husband and then got back together? did it work?

Answer 1

I was married to my first husband for 5 years. We were separated twice for 6 months each. We have now been divorced for 18 years and are good friends. I wish we could have made it, but is never worked out. Good luck - I wish you the best!

Answer 2

You have to be willing to make it work if you want to be back together. My husband and I were married 6 1/2 years, got separated for 4 yrs, got divorced, married 1 1/2 years later and are coming up on our new 6 yr anniversary. The 2nd time around has been much better and we've both got a better understanding of each other.

Answer 3

Well mines wasn`t that long about 2 months,we had been together 6 years and have a child,he walked out on us for the second time 2 weeks ago,we had only been back together 5 months.He couldn`t change and can`t settle down,i wish we hadn`t got back together as it was just a total waste of my time.

Answer 4

yes,twice.the first time we were seperated for 2 months,we got back together and then 1 year later we seperated again and got back together 2 months later and been together ever since thank god.its been pretty good,we havent really fought very much since ive learned how to be more calm and weve got to know each other better.been married for 4 years now and i love him more than anything so yes,it did work out

Answer 5

My husband and I separated for about 8 months, got back together, and it's been 6 years since then. Things have only gotten better.

However... my MIL and FIL divorced and got back together 16 years later. They're both just as miserable the second time around, and both say "It didn't work the first time, what made me expect it to work this time?".

Answer 6

I did with my eldest daughters father - we were together 7 years and split for 3 years and then got back - the old problems re-surfaced and we eventually ended it after 2 years - so no it didn't work out for me but we are all different and I am sure there are many people who do make it work.

Answer 7

I took my husband back after a short separation, it lasted 14years. The reason for the second break up? Same, lust in his heart. What ever the problem was in the first place, unless he or she cannot or won't deal with that problem, at the end it will come and bite you. My answer is no, unless you are a very lucky person.

Answer 8

It will only work with a lot of hard work and professional counseling in your marriage. As you two are to close to the actual problem that you are having and only a professional counseling of marriage may be able to let you understand what the underlying problem in your marriage is. It has to be a consorted effort. It help my marriage an we were married for 30 years. Get help if not both of you, then just you.

Answer 9

Yes! My first husband and I were seperated for 1 year (he was in the Military stationed overseas) and when he came home our marriage lasted 27 more years until God called him home.

Answer 10

When my fiance proposed to me, i knew that he was at some point going to have to serve time in a county correctional facility for something stupid he did years ago. never the less, i love him and i will stick with him through anything. he was gone for 3 months, but not too far away. i visited him once a week, everyweek until he was released. i wrote him a letter everyday, regardless of what i had to say... it could have been a long letter or a short one, but just to write about something everyday felt like i was filling him in on my life without him. i talked to him every few days. it was hard, but it really tested our love and im happy that both of us really love each other and were able to get through it.

we're getting married this april :)
