Thank you so much for your comments and suggestions. I will definitely work on a list of expectations. He does say he wants to work on the marriage. We are not rushing into his moving back in. Just discussing it at this point. Thanks again.

We are looking at his staying in the spare bedroom as a financial solution. We both work full-time but with our finances, we cannot afford for him to pay rent elsewhere along with our two house payments (second home at the beach) and two car payments. Unfortunately there is no great solution.

I just noticed your post on MidLifeCrisis and I wanted to say "Hi."
I have an 11-year-old daughter on the spectrum. I know her disability played a part in our marriage issues. I don't want her to ever know that--but I'd love to touch base with you--on the boards or whatever. We seem to be about the same age, married the same amount of time, etc...
This is our second go round with H being in crisis. His first episode was about 16 years ago. I don't believe he had an affair at that time.
I've suspected he may be on the spectrum.
Anyway, just wanted to say hello.
Heather
