I have told my husband why I think doing a trial separation is important - it will give me time to think and assess how I truly feel about the relationship because I believe living in the same house with him doesn't really give me that space and time I need to figure things out. Does this make sense? He seems to agree.

So here's a question - what do I do when I move into the apartment? We aren't filing for legal separation - we're doing a trial one. Do I move out my things from the house? Obviously I'll have to move out a bed and my clothes, but what about the office furniture and the rugs that he's said I could keep. What about dishes and cookware?
