That's the hard part, no perfect answers. Right now, I'm just hoping for anything to make the situation easier. I know I need to pull my head in more than anything. I'm going to set up my bedroom as a living quarters and try to stay out of my wife's view, despite some practical limitations. I've reread about giving her space and the same thing keeps coming up: make yourself scarce. I know I haven't done that. I have no intention of going out just because my wife is home though I'll try taking the kids to the park more as well as fixing up a bike in the shed. I don't know if it'll help. It'll be something new and if not seeing me or barely seeing me helps ease the tension then it'll be worthwhile.
So Plan A is to set up my bedroom as a living quarters and Plan B will be to rent a second place with my wife. Plan C (or perhaps, Plan B.1) is my wife moves out. I'd like to try and make things work with both of us in the same house first.
