There is a Dr Doug Wiess video entitled “Now That I Know, What Should I Do?”. In that video that is one of the questions that are asked from a betrayed wife. The answer depends on how safe you feel if your spouse stays with you. Have you been physically abused. Can you not begin to heal from your trauma with him around…Actually he should be the one leaving if separation is in order.
Have you set a boundary where the penalty for him crossing it is that he has to go. Then, if he has crossed the boundary, then he needs to go.
Have you prepared financially for having to be alone for a period of time? If you think you will be separating you need to have some finances of your own. THere is nothign wrong with preparing for that ahead of time.
Nothing is cast in concrete and separation works for many couples to help their healing and recovery and restoration along.
We are hosting a couples recovery group and that is a topic we are right in the middle of. No easy answers here. See a counselor for the best advice.
