Wife wants to separate at end of school year

[sandi2]

I know if she is planning on following through on separating at the end of the school year, I will not be leaving the home.

Okay, then make the home improvements for you.

I also hate the idea of giving our children the impression that all is ok.

So what do you want to do, break their hearts now? Let them be kids and finish the school year without this worrying their hearts. I can't remember their ages, but parents don't pull their children into their personal M problems, they protect them. Of course, if she starts to leave, then you will have to talk to them, but not now, not before the holidays. There is plenty of time before school ends.

I am confused on what to do. Play nice, give the impression that I am ok with the charade until June, or tell her that I find the present arrangement unacceptable.

Maybe that's b/c you are trying to go "grey"?

I think it's the mood you are in today. It's understandable. Just don't act on things when you are having a day like this one.
