To continue with what DQ might describe as wallowing in self-justification...
If I were to separate or divorce, I don't see how the steps I'd realistically take would be effective or rewarding. I've been told I should live apart and not date for a year and while I "learn about myself", or "discover myself", which sounds about as exciting as a cold hamburger, not to mention utterly sexually frustrating. So, that's not happening, certainly not that way.
And if I did separate and lived in an apartment, I'd still be spending a lot of time with my kids and perhaps even my ex-wife with all the common things we have. I guess I'd use the apartment for having sex with my dates. The whole thing sounds comical, if not fun. But splitting up our finances and things, sounds like a royal pain in the neck, and waste of money.
