Obviously, the reason I am willing to co-habitate is that it give me much more time to DB and I don't have to give up time with my kids. I don't see how I am losing here.

From my spouse's POV, he also doesn't have to give up time with the kids and he is saving financially (actually that is TBD through D mediation).

However, I fail to see how living together after D is any different than living together while DB'ing. I can't expect anything from my spouse in the M right now anyway. And he thinks he is so miserable being married, why is he willing to continue living with me indefinately? In my persanl sitch, we are already completely financially separate in M. We even file taxes separately. I am confused about his motivation. he claims he isn't interested in dating at the moment (I don't know if I trust that or not.)
