So, i'm from earlier, when my wife dropped a bomb of wanting a divorce on me.  She seems to be calming down a little.  I'm going to start to work on myself with a counselor and get my own apartment (which is the hardest thing I've had to do).  I still am deeply in love with her, but feel if I give her some space and time it could help us?  She wants to at least try it, and I figure the worst that could happen is we get a divorce she wants.  

I know she will date people, but I want to get over that.  I'm new to the area because i keep moving for my job, so I'm going to be working on finding my own friend base.  

Does anyone have any words of wisdom, or thoughts on separations, like their effectiveness or ineffectiveness?
