Not if we're trying to get divorced, if it's just like a way to kind of get that ball rolling.

But we need a timeout, which there's really good value for that.

Okay.

Right?

Right.

I just need the smoke to clear.

I'm going to step away, but it's got to be for a specific period of time.

And we have to already have on the calendar a place where we will reconvene to discuss how that separation went and a plan for what happens next.

So for instance, I don't want to leave.

I want to continue to work on this, but I value you feeling safe in your own skin.

And so I'm going to propose a week-long separation.

I'm going to go stay with fill in the blank.

And that Sunday of next week at noon, we meet at this restaurant to talk about how this week went and what you want next week to look like.

I can do that.

And if you feel confident in this meeting, it might be the next one.

It might be after you have your, your lunch or your breakfast.

But if you will commit to saying some sort of boundary, I won't go beyond 30 days without a plan for what we're going to do together next.

Yes.

I'll stay gone for 30 days total.

Right.
