Well, with my X, when I made the announcement that I was leaving the marital residence that was barely 4 blocks from where she was staying, she begged and pleaded me not to leave. She went so far as to say she needed the 'closeness'. Why? Who knows. She said for the kids. But in reality, it was a major pain in the arse being so close, walking past 'her house' every day going to work and coming home, seeing OM's car there. It also enabled her to pick up or dump off the kids at her own leasure. And most of all, enabled her to stroll over whenever she wanted and corner me into converation, be it good or bad.

So, hindsight, I still have a mixture of feelings in regards to that request. I'm sure there was some good itnent to it, but it seemed more like a convenience factor. To say anything of the fact that I was the 'undertaker' of all her possessions she left behind.

Thus, since I'm still not sure what happened in my stich, I'm not sure what to tell you on this. I will say take those points I made and question if the potential good outwieghs the potential bad case scinerios.

Hell, instead of wondering about it, do as I did and just flat out ask her why she'd make such a recomendation and judge her reaction from there (and it would be helpful to bar the notion of being a nutcase at the time wink )
