I lived in fear of going home at night, wondering what was in store. What mood would greet me.

Whilst it will make no difference to the outcome, what I can tell you is, that is never as bad as we fear.

If you mention nothing, and carry on with a carefree attitude, I suspect nothing will happen.

Listen to Smurf....for he knows what he speaks. It will be what you make it.

No expectations.....right? Positive OR negative.....

No !!!!!!!!!!! for the reasons stated, this is what she wants, she must do it.

My wife and kids lived in the splendor of our heated home, whilst I, who provided it all, lived in an attic, that you could not stand up in. What a prat I was.

There have been others who have passed through this site, who have sleeped on couches, for an equal length of time, while we gracefully give them the master bedroom.

You being the chivalrous, nice guy, will make no difference to the outcome.

Not everyone is the same. Two people doing the exact same thing might not have the same outcome.

Smurf moved into an unheated attic.

Jack kicked his wife out.

Neither of us knew what would happen after that.

If asked to move , do I remind her this was her idea. If and When she wants to talk to our S-11 about it , she wants to say WE want a divorce. I told her I didn't want a divorce and felt he should know that. She didn't want to do that. It was making her look like the bad person.

Too bad for her. Stick to your guns on this one.
There is a difference between R talks and kid talks.
Let her know you aren't going to lie to him to make her feel better. I didn't. BUT you also do not vilify her to him. You do not make her the bad guy when you talk to him.

You already have my advice, seems like your trying to defend hers.
