Well, me and my W did have that talk, but it didn't get very far. As far as privacy, she asked if I would find a place to stay one night about every other weekend so she could have a quiet night at home with our Ds and/or have some friends over. She said she would reciprocate for for me. She would not feel comfortable knowing I was downstairs even if I stayed down here and kept a low profile. I told her I couldn't think of a situation where I would invite any friends over to have a get together, not to mention asking her to leave for the night. We have decided to go Florida together with our Ds to my niece's graduation. It's not for 2 months, so I guess we'll still be together in some way. My SIL there told me if she hadn't moved down there, she is sure she and my W would be best friends, even if we were to D. Our Ds have a lot of resentment towards my W. She asked my D13 to write a diary and then she read it and was very upset at what she read. She wanted me to read it, which I didn't want to do, but since she already had, I figured I was going to find out 1 way or the other.My D was/is upset that my W read it and now she doesn't trust her mother. That's enough for now.
Tell your wife that is your home and you don't need to find a place every other week to sleep over. It's the dumbest thing I've ever heard, she wants out of the relationship and she thinks she can ask you for favors and I don't care if she wants to reciprocate.
Obviously don't be an ass when you talk to her about it but if she wants privacy, she can go out of the house. As far as privacy with your daughters, again she can go out.
Seriously what's next, you left the master bedroom, now you're living in the "man-cave" (I'm glad you think it's funny, I think it's degrading) and now she wants you to leave the house and stay out over night every now & then so she can have quiet time without you in the house and then what, a weekend every now & then so that she can have another cave man over for some company.
Stand up for yourself bro, no more door mat behavior, it's ok to say no to stuff you don't agree to.
