Hey Julie, I'm going into week 3 with my W out of the house. While she was here it was the same for us, when she was gone, things were more relaxed. When she was here, D's and I would end up together while she would be in the other room listening to music or on her phone while we had fun and talked and laughed. Now that she is gone, D's and I are much more relaxed and happy without having to worry about her getting angry or upset or wanting "everyone to go to bed" (she was sleeping on the sofa in living room and seemed to want to go to sleep from the min. she got home from work).
I can't imagine living in the same home when there is OW involved and everyone knows about it! That must be hard on you all. Not sure I could do that. I really think you do need you're house back. You may find it much more relaxed.
