We have been separated for 8 months. We sleep in separate beds at the same house and both our boy(5) and our girl(8) don't know anything. They still think I sleep in my room. They notice tension sometimes but they don't know yet.
As we go along, my wife tries to initiate outings in which I am not included and the kids just think I have to work or busy doing stuff at the house. She basically pushes to lie to them and I feel if I don't go along with it, it will create a fight.
As time passes by, I am afraid the kids are starting to think that having mommy and daddy (separate) days are the normal thing to do. My wife keeps on saying she thinks the kids should know our situation so we don't keep on lying to them. I feel this will create an even more hostile environment as the kids will then ask more questions and will start feeling the wrath of separation.
Should I continue lying to avoid confrontation with my waw?
