There was nothing majorly wrong with our marriage, no cheating or anything like that. We were just both generally unhappy and dissatisfied.
We just haven't communicated well in quite a while, and we let a lot of things build up that should have been addressed.
We were separated for a week today, and have only been talking without snarling for the past two days. We split the time with our 2 year old son equally, so we both went for a few days without him.
They were the worst couple of days ever, for all of us. My son cried for me when he was with her, and vice versa. So, we sat down and talked honestly and openly for the first time a long time. We agreed to try counseling as a last resort, and we made a pact with each other to give an honest effort instead of just going though the motions. Above all, complete honesty from now on. We're not so miserable together that it's worth causing everyone that kind of pain.
We decided that instead of being a bickering couple with a kid, we needed to take a real stab at being a family. But, we're not just going to pretend that everything is suddenly fine, and we're madly in love again. We're going to move slowly, and see what develops. I moved my stuff back in a couple of hours ago, but I'm sleeping in the guest room for a while. (My idea)
Again, a huge thanks to everybody for the advice and good wishes. You all have helped more than you know.
I think I made the right decision, given what's most important to me.

My grand kid is staying with us. She has an alphabet set made out of foam for the bath tub. 26 letters no repeats.
You'd be suprised at what kind of messages can be left on the shower wall for a loved one. You have to use your imagination and creativity.
This has been a lot of fun for me and she loves getting a little message when she get's into the shower.
Really hoping things work out for you as well as they have for me.
