Hanging and hoping- seperation edition

[Gordie]

Hi Billy - it sounds like things ar settling for the time being. I am currently on a family holiday with my W and kids overseas. Same here - very civilised. I think it is because they are getting what they want - their space and freedom and having us close but not too close. They want civility and to feel like they are taking control of their future - my W plans to move out in the next few months - has said she wants to share finances still - I have not told her I find this unreasonable yet because I don't want to do anything to make matters worse - once she confirms what she will be doing then I will raise the discussion. Did you W try this or did she accept that she was to support herself once she left ?

My W and I are planning on separating early next year and W still wants to plan family vacations. Is this normal? I'm okay with a family vacation but not sure how the logistics work.
