25yearsmlc, SS21-according to my W-seems to be adapting to the change. He could do an about-face any time and tear her place apart, but that has been the fact of life we've had to deal with. Thanks for asking about him.
Your observation about her possible return in 6 months is interesting; she has been much more communicative, warm and affectionate to me in the last 2 weeks. Now maybe, like me, she feels relief from the stress and tension while we were living together. But at least we are no longer the Bickersons.
paige40, I am in a good place. I'm not thrilled about spending money to re-furnish the house, but W was very good about dividing our stuff so it's OK. You will feel good about "taking back" your space; to me it is regaining control of my life, and I suspect you will experience that, too.
