thank you for the replies PDT. i'll try to be a bit less vague. W and I talk once a day on the phone, regarding picking up our son. the only conversations we have had regarding other things are the one I mentioned last night.
W : went with (couple) house hunting tonight. found a really nice place last night with a bunch of bedrooms
Me: why do they need so many bedrooms ?
W: Son and I would move in too. I CAN'T stay alone in our house. plus it would be so much cheaper than $X i'm paying now.
Me: wouldn't it be easier to get a small apartment so you could afford college better?
W: and live by myself ? no. also, "another party" offered to help me through school.
Me: I see. well i'm glad you're at least not giving up on going back to school.
