A recent situation has developd and i would love to get other peoples opinions. My wife has been out of the house for about 4 months and we alternate w/ the kids. We are both very flexible when it comes to this.

I am really struggling financially and she brought up the possibility for her to stop renting her place and we would take turns at my house. The house is in my name. She said she would like something in writing as far as a schedule but made it clear that whoever's night it was to not be at the house would leave after dinner or shortly their after.

She has mentioned this possible set-up previously and I am not quite sure how I feel about it. I know she misses the neighborhood and our friends and I don't sense at all that her suggesting this is a step towards R. I think it would be good for the kids and provide a more stable environment. I absolutely hate the fact that I will have to leave my house every other night and find a place to stay, maybe with a friend. I don't want to not do this due to anger and resentment but I also don't want to feel like a doormat. Do I do what's in the best interest of my kids or myself and how do I balance that?

If only I was better off financially I would be in a better position to control these things but thats just not the case right now.

Thanks All!
