I completely understand that feeling. Felt the exact same thing when my W moved out as we bought the house for her mostly. I had to move out and get myself another place because I was losing my mind there. I think your looking for another place is an excellent idea, you need some space you feel comfortable in. It's a really bad feeling when you work all day and don't feel like you have any sanctuary to go to, especially when you're dealing with all this R stuff like we are.

Interesting, my W made a very similar comment about the house. Anyway, I didn't buy for many reasons but one of them was I didn't want to do too good of a job of convincing my W that I was moving on with life. Getting another place says one thing, buying another place says something else entirely.
