Hmm, yes I agree with V and understand how to protect your own interests before you commit to purchase. My understanding would be the new house would become a further marital asset - ie: in consideration to be split - if you guys don't reconcile.
Whatever you do, don't rely on a gentlemans agreement. Get advice - from your own L - and have things clearly specified. Can I ask? If you knew you were never going to reconcile, would you buy this house?
Good luck with whatever you decide xx
