girls- trial separation question?

[Dustin]

So me and my girl have been together for 3 years and we are used to not seeing each other much. like weekly. So things have been weird between us ever since we were both at different colleges. when we would see each other lately. its like we are barely a couple. its barely romantic and we rarely get alone time. Now we have started a trial separation. we aren't dating other people but we aren't hanging out at all or talking or texting. this apparently is to think and experience what life would be like without the other person. i dont want to lose her so i agreed. is this a bad idea or could it actually work? girls opinions only. sorry so long
