Her reasons are that it isn't good for kids to hear us fighting, which I agree with, but I decided that there was nothing to fight about anymore if I am truly letting her go. The fights were happeneing every 4-8 weeks usually, but nothing really bad.
This has been the change in the past few weeks - I have let her go to the point where I have no urge to argue with her about anything. I have invalidated her reason for leaving. I am just trying to get her to stick around a few months so the kids can finish school and I can get going on my new job and we can get our financial affairs in order (lots of bills right now).
However, the fact that she is still hell-bent on separating tells me she has OM-plans most likely, and is feeling guilty living under the same roof as me. I may be mind-reading here, but it is all I can come up with. She has wanted to be 'roomates' for a year now and I fought her over it - now she is getting what she wants and needs to move?
Her original idea was to do as you said pigskin - share an apartment. However, recently she has nixed that idea and wants to get separate places. Again, I think it is because she has OM plans and doesn't want to share a place with me (OM might not want to be at a place she alternately shares with me).
