How do you know when it really is time to be done waiting for your wife to come back? This is the other side of the question answered in the previous episode. As a pro-marriage optimist, please know that I’m rarely going to tell you to move on from your marriage, but in this episode I will share the reasons that I’ve seen other separated men make that decision for themselves.

I will warn you, unlike the last episode, this one may not be very encouraging. But this is a real-life question that comes up regularly, especially among men who have endured lengthy or difficult separations with no end in sight. However, even though this episode is an answer to a somber and difficult question, we will make sure to finish on an encouraging note — you’ll learn why my hope is that hearing the reasons men decide to be done waiting could actually help you more confidently choose to keep going.


Stop guessing. Figure out where your separation actually stands.

If your wife wants out, wants space, is planning to move out, already moved out, or has filed for divorce — the right next step is different in each stage.

I put together a free Separation Roadmap to help you identify where you are, understand what is likely going on, and avoid the mistakes that make things worse.
