I have told her that I am o.k with whatever she decides, if she wants to work on us I will give it 100 percent effort and if she wants a divorce, I will sign the papers. I also told her that I will not file.

Currently I am laid off until March and she is still working 50 hr weeks. We have contact every day and this is where I am confused on what to do. I really want to be out of her life so that she can begin to miss me. I have agreed to come over at 5 am so she can go to work, and then leave when she comes home. We also have time together on the weekends and I'm not sure how to act. Should I be their to help her sort through her emotions. She keeps asking me to do husband things like take out garbage, carry heavy things, fill up her washer fluid ect. I feel used because I get nothing out of this and I think that she needs to learn how to take care of herself.

Any hints or suggestions on how to handle my situation with the living situation and the children would be helpful.

p.s we live right next door to each other which makes it kind of wierd
