Looking to keep hope alive

Hi, that is a tricky one. It sounds like you already worked it out with her, how the living arrangements would be. I know, often people say that the person who is leaving/separating should be the one to leave the home. However, I am not sure since you have already made an agreement with her on how the living arrangements would go.

I think this is one that you will have to work out with her, unfortunately! After you separate, are you still going to work on the DB'ing? If you want any chance of re-conciliation in the future you will have to keep her request for living arrangements in mind. Have you read DR yet?
