I don’t know how to tell my husband that I want a seperation from him. What is that I should do? We are on good terms right know but I just don’t know how to tell him. He is the type that if it isn’t his way then there is no way and I am tired of him choosing his freinds and dogs over his family. I am unhappy and tired and when he is gone I am happy and don’t want him to come back home and I know he will and I just mad and want to leave. What should I do it has been like this for four years and we have been married for five years. Help!!
