Realized that I can sell our house without a realtor, saving a huge commission. Getting out from under our house would be a huge help after we separate. I don't have as big an attachment to it as our daughter's naturally do; I sure won't miss the maintenance and cost of a big house. I'm having our realtor come over to give me a rough appraisal for the house.
Last night after dinner, the W wanted to look at townhomes and appts in our area. Her dream would be for us to buy two houses at the opposite end of a block, so that our kids would have it easy when they want/need to visit the other coparent. We can't afford two houses, but my mom mentioned that two apartments within the same complex might work the same way. Obviously not next door to each other.
I'm concerned that we wouldn't have enough space, though in a lot of ways it'd be really convenient for coparenting.
Still losing weight, though not as fast as the last 30 days. Focusing more on eating well, keeping my exercise pattern going, and relaxing and my patience. It's hard when I see the W upset, I naturally want to comfort her.
Have to come to some agreement about what to do with our dog. This will be really hard for the girls, the first of many little (or big) traumas. One of the things that is really helping me and my W is that we're being brutally honest, and trying to keep what's best for the girls in mind.
