To clarify, my H has been paying rent for his own space for over a year and a half, almost two years now. He's been splitting rent on a great big house with a couple he's friends with. We could afford that situation for a while but we can't afford two places and daycare and so we're coming up against a wall. If I want to finish school, we need ONE home for all of us and daycare here or I need to move back to Florida where rent is cheaper and my mom will eagerly serve as free daycare. My H has had his space. Plenty of it. This talk of him getting an apartment came up because his friends broke up - after like 12 years together - and so he needs to move out of the current house. Anyway... just... throwing out some clarification on that point.
