Update after a long time

[shodan]

I started looking at condos/apartments last week. I told my W that I would move out. She wants the house and has said that she will go with a lawyer to get it. I know the court will award the house to her, so to keep things amicable for the kids, I agreed to move out but we will work with a mediator for the rest of it.

I texted her a few times with things that I was seeing and she commented that our situation su$ks. At night, we would talk and she would ask if this is really what I wanted. She is having second thoughts and wonders if this is just what people go through. She then commented that she thinks she needs some time to herself, effectively a separation. She said that she wants to miss me. She needs those feelings to really put the effort in.

I told her that since she wants the separation, then she should move out for a few months. I am continuing to look at places for me, but the options are poor. Either very expensive temporary housing or I need to rent a place and furnish it. I want to be near the kids so I can share 50/50 in the custody but my town has few options for condos/apartments.

In parallel, I am continuing to focus on me. I have made great strides and while I would prefer that my M work out, I also am 100% fine if it did not.

Advice/feedback?
