So in essence, she wants to be your room mate. SD17 suggested that to W this week. There is no real answer to this Woog...I think you know that. It all depends on how much we can take. Like i mentionned status quo for me is not accptable. If this arrangement works for you or seems better than any other situaton, then hang in there. I think you said your W is irrational.....nothing she said to you (what you wrote here) today has changed that perception...to me anyway. This is tough stuff to deal with on a Friday night. I just thought of something...the happiest i have been since the bomb is during my 10 days in FLA golfing. I think that was the toughest time for her...missed me etc. I sure could use another 10 days in FLA right about now.
