11 March 2003 17:53A trial separation may allow the spouse who wants the divorce (whom I call the "leaver") to experience some of the feelings of being separated without making a final decision to divorce.

You can try it for a while, go through counseling, and then reconcile, or you can try it for a while and then proceed with divorce.
