I agree with the above. Tone down the ILYs. I personally don't like you going to your parents, unless you are taking the kids with you. I think it's preferable to have her be the one that does all the leaving. It's her issue and you can't bail her out by being the one to leave. If it's at all possible, I'd look at something that can be a longer separation...like an apartment. A week isn't going to cut it. And leaving her a week at the house, with the neighbors, is going to do NOTHING to further your cause. She'll probably be happy as a clam with that arrangement...she'll have the house and her best buddies.
