Can you come back from a separation while spouse is dealing with PTSD/mental health issues?
Post Body

Has anyone successfully ended a separation? Meaning you were able to come back to a healthier happier marriage? Does anyone have specific goals or tasks a therapist gave you that helped measure progress? My (40f) and my husband (41m) have been living apart since he moved into an apartment 2 months ago after a long history of mental illness and just needing a break to “isolate” and “be selfish”. We are both in individual therapy as well as marriage counseling, but neither of us has been given any real advice or tasks to work on the marriage. Just to give it time…wait for his new meds to work etc. I am dying inside and just need something tangible that tells me I will have my life back with the man I love, or that I have to being the process to move on.

TLDR: I need things to do to measure if my separation is working.
