My wife and I have been seperated for two months and are working to save the marriage. Harley states that about twenty percent of seperations end up in divorce, what is your take on this? How many of you have been seperated longer than two months and have gotten back together?<BR>Thank you for your input, I just would like to know what my chances are.

Sad to say but my separation ended in a divorce. But, my x never really wanted to work on any thing. All he wanted was his own selfish way. And he got what he said he wanted.

tkb,<P>I believe you said some key words - "we are working to save our marriage".<P>As long as you both are working toward the same goal time has no meaning, whether it be 2 months, 2 years, or 2 decades.<P>Best wishes<BR>

I was seperated for one year and we got back together. At first, it was great, now it's turning out life before--even after counseling. Sorry--this is bad news.

I agree with the asessment of 'ttr' that your key phrase here is trying. It is alot more difficult to dave a marriage when one partner thinks it is over, as my situation is sitting right now. If nothing is filed, as in my case, you are definitely keeping the window (door) open. Good luck.<P>rrunrr<P><BR>------------------<BR>Almost anything can be undone or forgiven.<p>[This message has been edited by rrunrr (edited August 18, 2000).]
