And as I said, not moving out is going straight to divorce.
This is exactly why I say you havent evaluated the situation. You do NOT KNOW THIS as a 'fact'. You are not omnicient. you are not a mind-reader. you cannot "see the future". you can only guess.
The fact that you make this statement, shows that you havent done the research about people exactly in your situation, who have been threatened by their spouses, "i want a divorce", "move out"... but they did not get a divorce in the end.
Certainly, divorce is still possible. But it is in no way a certainty, if you do not move out right now. Just the opposite. moving out == separated == HIGHER CHANCE OF DIVORCE.
you cant stop your wife from moving out. but you can choose not to go down that road yourself.
It's supposedly 90% for legally separated. I dont know actual numbers for physical separation. but it is higher than non-separated.
Look at it this way:
If YOU move out... she has the more comfortable situation. She thenhas reasons to keep things how they are after separation.
If SHE moves out.. it's going to be inconvenient. she might miss being "at home". She has more incentive to come back. (presuming she actually likes your home. hopefully she does)
Is that not logical?
