Goingdownhill... I will share my experience with splitting the house.
For the kids it is good. They have consistency and have the same friends/routine and are less affected. Reality is if W files the Big - D... this is only temporary.
For me it is hard. I have to pack my stuff every Saturday and move. I feel like I do not have a home. Weeks in the house with kids I feel good and confident, but weeks away I am a mess. I am training for a bike race so I have to pack and move all my equipment (training machine, bike, gear... it sucks).
I come back to my house every other Sunday and it is a mess. I spend the entire day cleaning, laundry, dishes... I was very busy last week and left the house a mess for her (not intentionally). My fear is we are just creating problems and we would be better off with our own space.
I am staying with my sitch because I am a fool and believe I can fix it... But, I will not give up and will roll-up my sleeves and do all the hard work.
