DrRoberta Dear Dr. Roberta,
After 6 years of marriage my husband asked me to move out so he could decide if he really loved me. He said I could date other people during our separation and he would date others, too. Now it is 8 months later and we are still separated. I had a few affairs but I am not interested in anyone else. When I call my husband he says he’s not ready for us to get back together. How long should I wait for him?
Separated, Illinois
Dear Separated,
Get a grip, girl, and get rid of him. He now has the best of both worlds – a wife and a girlfriend. You deserve to be with a man who cherishes you, not one who tells you to move out. Marriage is a sacred union. If there is a doubt about love in the marriage it is resolved by staying together and getting help, not by dating others. Be grateful you have no children with him.
-Dr. Roberta
