Thanks for giving me your experience regarding the time just before separation. We are still about three and a half weeks out from the separation date. So far things have been okay, better than I have expected. There are days when my WAW is a bit more moody and distant than others, but for the most part pretty even keel. I expect as the day approaches that could change. Another concern is that we still have not spoken to our girls about this. I want to very soon, but she says there is no hurry. I certainly don't want to do it the week before, so if she doesn't agree to soon then I'm going to tell her that I'm going to talk to them myself.
I know once she moves out I will be sad but relieved. Sad because it is one more nail in the marriage coffin but relief that I don't have to walk on eggshells anymore and can begin to move forward with my life.
As for househunting, it's not going that great. Unfortunately there are not a lot of properties in the price range I can afford around here (Northern Virginia, just outside of DC), but I really enjoy looking at houses so I don't mind it taking a while. Something eventually will pop up that I like and can afford. Sorry your's is so stressful, however I guess NYC is a completely different market as well.
