I'm 50 and been married for almost 23 years, have two kids, 18 and 21. I've thought about separating for about 3 years now. I couldn't bring myself to not be present in my kids daily life. One of my kids have moved out and the other will soon. I've realized I have not been truly happy for years. We are basically roommates that happen to have kids. We have just grown apart. I thinking about separating for a while to see where it leads both and each of us. Has anyone gone down that path? And what was the end result?
