I've been a wife for over 40 years and I don't believe that separation makes the heart grow fonder...I believe in staying put and trying to work things out by communicating and really, really listening to what my partner needs and wants, when to step back if things get heated, and when to try talking again. I think separating just causes more problems because the communications breaks down; each wanting the other partner to make the first move. Talk, talk, talk it out and if there is nothing left, THEN separate and move on. This post may be very curt and to the point, but making more grief by separating helps no one; just makes it harder to start communicating again.
