GM, I hear you about the note. I would write it with only positive wording. I want to make it very clear to my W that I am owning up.

I agree, I cannot put the house above my W. My W actually had told me last summer that we should sell the house and move into an apartment for a while and then buy another house down the road. Again, she told me and I didn't listen. I would love to ask her if she would be open to renting a place together but I'm not sure now is the right time. After the house would go on the market she might be open to discuss that possibility as you stated in your post. When I talk to her tonight maybe I can find a way to mention the house being stressful and see what she says. Maybe getting her to open up about the house will open doors to more communication.

I hear you about giving advice to others and it's like you're giving it to yourself. I find myself doing the same sometimes. Hopefully it helps us all out with our sitchs. Reading and giving advice often times makes the light bulb turn on for me with my own sitch.

Two ears and one mouth for a reason...LOL, I like that GM!
