Separation — the long in-between
Separation is life in an unresolved sentence, and the longer it runs, the heavier the limbo gets: married but alone, hoping but guarding, waiting on someone else's choices. 'I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage' (Psalm 27:13-14) — waiting is not wasted here. And if this separation exists for safety, hold your ground: distance from harm is obedience, not failure. This path keeps your own heart honest while the future is unwritten.

Vows in limbo
Long limbo plus loneliness is temptation's favorite arithmetic — the attention of someone kind, the account you shouldn't open. Your vows are still standing while the question is; check the ground honestly.

Not alone in the in-between
A joy check in the limbo: God sets the lonely in families (Psalm 68:6), and the in-between is not outside His reach. Count who and what is still holding you.
