jennyhall74 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) Hi there, So me and my husband are separating this Saturday. Things are still very amicable between us and I am hopeful of a reconciliation down the road. My problem right now is my family. I am going to live with them with my daughter while we are separated. For whatever reason they feel they have the right to know all the details of our separation. Such as how much support, how often husband will see our child, going to a lawyer. I have kindly told them that if I need their advice or help I would ask but until then if they could stay out of my business as I feel this is only between me and my husband. They think I am being unreasonable and asking them to stay out of my life. I never once asked them to stay out of my life. I never wrote or said this but they have assumed it because I have asked them to stay out of some things I beleive are personal. This has caused so many problems and way to many to write but am I being unreasonable? Edited September 25, 2012 by jennyhall74 I wanted to remove something. Link to post Share on other sites

You let your family know how much you appreciate them allowing you to stay with them but it's best that they let you and your husband sort things out privately. You don't owe them details of why you two are separating. The less they know, the better off they will be especially if you and your husband DO get back together, they aren't tainted or have a different opinion of him. Just tell them that they have to respect your privacy, and if you need help or advice, you'll ask for it. Let them know too, this is YOUR life, not theirs. Link to post Share on other sites
