My husband and I are doing a trial-separation. He started becoming abusive. Now, he has been in treatment for one week, in order to deal with his issues. We are cohabiting within a divided space.

I am irritated by him. I start to see a glimmer of someone who I like. Then, it quickly goes away, and I find him near-repulsive.

I am finding his personality and habits are incompatible with my own. I cannot stand even hearing sounds he makes.

Thus far, I have been the only one to initiate discussion of how to conduct the separation/ healing. He has not shown any interest. He is not the type of person to take initiative and responsibility, no matter how many times I have requested he do-so.

I do not think we will survive at this rate.
Depressing. But, probably the reality of our situation.
I bet he doesn't even have a clue - per usual.

I'm sorry you are having to go through this. Sounds difficult. I hope you can come to a decision before you become too resentful.
