I know some say you can really Db while So is still at home,but I could not stand my H's coming & going & out for the weekends AND still having eating his caek at home. So, I insited he leave b/c my H also would not leave but he was too proud to admit the reasson yours stated. My h jsut said he did not want it to be permanent & he was not in for the long haul w/ her..well its been 4 months papers r signed & still H says he will not file...goes back & forth on coming back...i told him one tiem not too b/c i thought he wasn't ready
