Sorry Kate - but it's not a necessity. Convenient - yes..
but you could stay at a hotel.. and that's what you would have to do if you two were not on good terms as a separated couple.
Many people might think you are lucky that you two are on such good terms.. and to some extent I agree... but you learning how to lean on him in appropriate ways would be good for you.
When my X cut me out of her life... it was probably the most painful 1.5 yrs of my life. I was in a car accident, she did nothing. She cut me off financially I couldn't believe it.
But through that I learned how to take care of myself. It forced me to make the changes I need to make within myself. I also learned how to lean on folks in the right way.
Ultimately it's your decision and I'm not trying to push you to change your mind..
.. but I see you wanting to change your boundary and I have to ask why?
Is it truly a necessity? Or is it because there is something going on inside you?
Sometimes a boundary is more difficult for the person setting it than the person who needs to adhere to it.
Just want you to see another perspective.

Show empathy when there's pain. Show grace when warranted. Kindness in the midst of anger. Faith in the face of fear.
