I just don't think you can live at that same house under your circumstances unless she was making huge efforts to fix the relationship.I don't think you can detach enough living under the same roof. As long as you still want to fix the M and she shows no inclination to do so, she will have too much power over you and your life. It is not even necessary for her to exercise this power over you on purpose, she probably actually thinks you can still be friends. My W said I don't know why we can't just be friends, i said we can be friendly to each other, but there is just no way we can be friends after the marriage is over, 'other couples can be friends after D'. I said they both wanted out.
