clearing the deck - the marriage status thread

so been meaning to write this thread for awhile - not bc I think anyone should care, but bc I respect when posters discuss something vulnerable and (most) other posters engage honestly
my wife and I separated this summer (but seemingly it had been on life support since COVID)
kids split time and have mostly adjusted pretty well - we're about 5 minutes away from each other
we're doing ok - neither are talking divorce (nor are we talking reconciliation)

I guess that's it for now
if you have questions, I will try to answer
if you want to share your own stories, I will read
if you know a guy who has a houseboat, I will listen
Sorry to hear that and I went through it in my mid 20's with my practice marriage. We didn't have kids and were only married 2 years so it's a fraction of what you're going through but even without kids and such a short time it's the hardest time of my life and there's not really a close second. I got through it by having really close friends I can openly talk to about anything and delicious miller lite.
