In last week's Ask Erin, a woman wrote in to ask if her marriage is really over or if she should keep fighting for it. Separations are tricky territory, especially when there are children involved. 

An important thing to remember is that a separation is not the same as a divorce. A separation gives you breathing room to figure out what each of you want and need, and to assess if your marriage can be salvaged. 

Whenever someone is going through any sort of breakup or separation, I encourage them to take the focus off of the other person and onto themselves. 

You can read the question (and my answer) in its entirety HERE on Ravishly. 

If you have a question for me about relationships, addiction, recovery, friendship, sex, consent, what I’m watching, Rose Quartz, or anything at all, use the contact form or email me at askerin@ravishly.com. As always, your anonymity is golden. xoxo
