Hi Purg,
Just to let you know that my H has expressed a similar fantasy, albeit with a slightly longer time-frame.

We will be divorced and living separate lives but he will keep most of his stuff here and live in a rented room at his mate's house for the next 5 years until S13 finishes school.

H will keep the family car (and I will have to buy myself a new one) because..... he will be picking the kids up from school and driving them back to our home every day for the FOR THE NEXT 5 YEARS.

Oh, but wait, just got a call from H to say he can't make it to pick them up today.... he's busy. A bit like the day before yesterday ....

Mad as.
