For almost two months, we&#8217;ve been doing a trial separation while  (mostly) staying in our house, staying in separate rooms and switching off  weekends as we figured everything out. At this point, it looks pretty certain  that we&#8217;re headed apart, and we&#8217;re now talking about how to make that transition  in the best way possible. Kate will be moving into a new place towards the end  of November, and Steve will stay in the house for the time being. Ruby will  split her time between us.<\/p>\n<p>Although this has been a very difficult period for us, we&#8217;ve discovered  that it&#8217;s helpful to be open about our situation. Sharing the story with our  friends has rewarded us with a lot of support and interesting stories, and  deepened some of our friendships.? We believe people should talk about these subjects more often, and we&#8217;d be willing to share more details with you  (or hear your own story) over a cup of tea or pint of beer.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a natural inclination at a time like this for friends to tend  to take sides.? We&#8217;d like to strongly discourage you from doing this. Both  of us are working very hard to maintain a strong friendship through this  separation, and neither of us is looking to win points by rallying our friends  to our cause.? Don&#8217;t be worried about inviting us both to the same event;  we still very much enjoy spending time together and won&#8217;t spoil your party.<\/p>\n<p>Also, suffice to say that at this point our most important priority is providing a loving, nurturing path for Ruby through the transition, and we&#8217;re  both fully engaged in that process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Also cross-posted to Steve&#8217;s blog at http:\/\/steveleroux.com] Steve and I would like to share some sad news: we are separating.
