It's my wife's house too.


I see you did not answer my question. I think direct questions deserve direct answers. I would like an answer to my question.


Ah, I didn't know that I had to answer each and every question the way the interrogator chose to see fit... wink

This is a lesser of two evils decision, R2C.

You seem to be implying that my principles, values, beliefs and morals are in question because I'm moving out in a trial separation.

Let me flip this around so you can see my alternatives:

1. Stay in the house, go on as we have the previous four months and watch our marriage continue to burn to the ground. That's what I foresee.

2. Stay in the house, pushing my wife to move out if she wants her space. She won't. She'll fight the whole way, not wanting to leave what she views as her daughter's home. Never underestimate a mama bear.

Could I have pushed her out the first month (post-bomb)? Yep, that would have been ideal. But all the arguments I'm hearing now were opposed to that, she wouldn't see my GAL, etc. Now, the point is really moot.

I'm providing financially for my family (one of my values), I'm taking care of my daughters 50% of the time (another of my values).
