Yes, we are still living in the same house for now. Same bedroom, sleeping only. I am trying to keep it that way; however, after we lost our home, we rented a place of similar size in the neighborhood so our kids could attend the same school. However, since she has started thinking separation, she has contacted our landlord and has asked for her to re-rent the house so we can move to a cheaper place. The idea being, move to a cheaper place, I'll be able to rent an apartment. The house should be listed this week, and boxes are being packed around me.

Based on what I've read in DR, I've been cheerful and cooperative, running it under the guise that it's a good idea that we save money on a smaller place; after all, the financial crisis brought us both to the realization that we wanted a simpler life for our family. If the separation thing continues to be a must for her, my thought is that I will offer an arrangement to move in with my father on a temporary basis. I don't think setting up a permanent residence for myself puts me in the best light as a father.
