What are my options?
Intentional
Separation
We live in a world that only allows black and white options for relationships.
Relationships are not clear cut
Growing together or apart?
Some of the black and white options we’ve defined are:
The ridiculous thing is that anyone who has ever been a relationship—especially one of the long-term variety—knows they are 100% not clear cut. Ever.
I, for one, hope that you and your partner have grown as humans since the time you first met. How intensely boring would it be if that weren’t the case?
The stuff of life
Going through major life transitions
There’s a real good chance that along the way you went through major life transitions: moving, buying a house, losing jobs, getting new jobs, having children, launching children, losing a loved one. The list is endless, and it is the stuff of life.
Sometimes all this changing and growing takes you to a place where you wake up, look at your partner and think,
“Ugh. You again.”
Or perhaps you’re asking yourself,
“Is this really all there is?”
What is the answer?
Going in circles
As these questions bounce around in your head and grow louder by the day, you find yourself looking for options. A break from each other seems to be the right answer, but your options appear extremely limited—get divorced and throw it all out the window or stay together and be miserable. Both options seem impossible, so you shelve it.
Until the questions start again. But louder this time.
Each time you land back in “the impossible place” until you are just stuck, stuck and more stuck.
What if there were a middle way?
What if I told you that getting some space from your partner is possible AND that space will give you the best information, the best perspective to decide if your relationship has actually run its course or if it’s just time for a full renegotiation.
Here at Three Points Relationships we’re all about finding creative, out-of-the-box solutions to relationship issues. One of these is our Intentional Separation program.
Together with one of our trained therapists, we’ll create a mutually agreed upon plan for a set period of separation—either in-house or in separate living spaces. We will troubleshoot any potential areas of conflict and map out every single important detail so that no one feels in the dark or hanging out on a limb.
Most importantly, we’ll get you unstuck.
