That sounds like the type of "Leave it to Beaver" stuff my wife comes up with. I don't know how they think everything can be "normal", but we just won't be husband and wife... I'm not a lot of help, but commiserate with your sitch... "We are still a family, just one that doesn't live together anymore." Hmm, what then IS a family?

Alex,
Well, to me, we WOULD still be a family -- just a broken one. And I think it's in my kids' best interests to keep up as many family traditions, customs, mores, and structures as I can (so long as they don't violate my own boundaries of personal integrity) -- isn't it?
It seems to me like my wife is going to get PLENTY of opportunities at doses of reality here -- legally, financially, logistically, emotionally and every other way. If doing what's in my kids' best interests makes things slightly more comfortable for her, is it a given then that I shouldn't do it?
