Do Trial Separations Work?

I was separated three separate times from my first wife over a four year period, and finally i put my foot down and decided not to allow it again. yes it hurt, but it had to be done. if he has problems communicating, this is a BIG hurdle to jump. with no communication, you basically have a living arrangement, not a marriage. if he can't get over this, it's sad to say that you need to file for divorce.
