Financially it would be tough but I could manage for a couple years, depending how much the W would require me to buy her out for. There are other issues with keeping the house though.

Cons:
It's far from work/friends/family for me
It's a lot of house for 1 person, especially with the upkeep
It would be a financial burden on me, more so after buying W out and replacing furniture

Pros:
I love the house
It seems like W is asking for me to keep it, not sure if she is thinking in case of R and she just needs to work through some things.

180 issues:
I've always been indecisive about big decisions, taking a firm stand would be a 180
On the other hand, i've always tried to minimize responsibilities so showing her i can manage the house without her help would be a big 180 too

Although what kind of a door mat would I be if i allowed her to get a bachelor pad and a hall pass to see what else is out there while keeping me in the wings?

I'm so messed up right now and everything is moving way to quickly.
