My wife and I are separated now for 6 months. We've been going to counseling. And talking and me swallowing a hell of a lot of pride and actually loving my wife. We are not back together yet but the prospects are extremely good. I gotta believe there is going to be a happy ending to this story. We're together on the weekends and a couple of nights during the week. Hopefully in a couple of weeks I am going to move back in. Wish me luck.

My husband and I were married and had kids very young (19). So after 4 years, we "took some time off." It was a real blessing to both of us. At that stage in our lives we wanted to be young and do things that our friends were doing. Our "separation" of almost 2 years (really going back and forth, on and off again and again) allowed both of us to have some freedom and learn in the end that what we really wanted and needed was right there all along. But did we both have fun learning that lesson! Don't think that I could love and value my husband like I do today if it were not for our time spent apart.
By the way - we have been together for 15 years total (and I do count the years separated) and we just had our third son 20 months ago!

Yes, My husband and I split got back together, split again, got back together and then got divorced for 6 years and remarried. 6 years is a long time to be apart and we had children and we did still love each other. However the things you think are now non issues, when starting over, are still issues but they are masked by having your "family" back together. It can work, but it is work.. hard work. It is like watching a re-run. You know the ending but want to change it and things from the previous marriage keep popping back up so the arguments and issues are so predictable. Would I do it again ... No... Do I regret doing it a second time... No... Just make sure things in fact have changed before you leap into it again... Needless to say, I think it is the secret to any great marriage... take some time off in the middle... Our second marriage just hit its 3 year anniversary. The first one only made it to 2, so we are making progress.

Two years ago we had twin boys(First pregnancy). Both had colic so sleep was non existent for my husband and i-it was also an adjustment to our lives. When the boys were 10 weeks old it had all became too much for my husband and his answer was to pack up and leave us. We were separated for two months and he called me saying he realised he had made a mistake.
Prior to getting back together we had marriage counselling. The counselling helped us and i believe in everyone getting a second chance (so he's on his second chance)
All is working well and we are now enjoying our precious family.

My wife and I seperated 2 years ago for about a month. I had a sexual addiction and was also addicted to porn. It caused me to be very selfish and was only thinking of myself instead of her and the kids.
After we got back together, we started seeing a marriage councelor, and it really helped our marriage. It also helped that instead of trying to make it work on our own, we both turned to God and have put him at the center of everything in our relationship, and it's worked, we feel closer to each other than we ever have, and our marriage is stronger than it's ever been.

I was in the exact situation! I got back with my ex for one night with the intention of sleeping with him on last time (I didnt tell him that) so we went to dinner, then talked and then we had sex and in my mind I knew it was the last time. It was perfect closure for me, but confused the heck out of him. We did part our ways and I did feel better about it.
