I also had planned to do all the house stuff this summer that needs doing, but no longer sure I should. If we were to split it would be wasted, needed money. thoughts ?
Yes, I've already given my thoughts about this, but perhaps you threw it out the window. You need to fix the house up....period. Act "as if" you are planning to be there with your wife. She will appreciate you so much for doing these things that she probably can't do and is considered "man's work". If you wanted to sell your house anyway, you certainly would need to fix it up.....most real estate people tell you that.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
