My Husband Says He's Not Ready For A Reconciliation - What Now?

I heard from a wife who said: "my husband and I are technically separated but we are still living together because we can't afford for either of us to get our own place. We had been fighting constantly over stress from my ill mother. I am pretty much her primary caregiver. Since we've been separated, my husband has been staying in a guest bedroom. We have been getting along OK. In fact, sometimes we go out and end up kissing or cuddling. Then I get my hopes up. I feel like we continue to get closer and that our marriage continues to improve. But when I tell my husband this, he interrupts me and says, very directly, that he is not ready to reconcile. Every time this happens, it feels like a slap in the face. And I start to worry that maybe he will never want to reconcile with me and that he's only still living with me because of finances. How am I supposed to handle this? What is the best way to react when I ultimately want to find a way to stay married?" I will try to address these concerns in the following article.
