OK, so after the day and seeing how hard the kids took it and also looking at the financials, I told her that it wouldn't make sense logistically or financially for her to move the kids and herself in 30 days and we quite simply can't afford it. I told her that if she stays here for the school year, I can rent a condo and give her her space. She cried and wouldn't agree.
I asked for a pause and told her that we should discuss it in our couples therapy session instead of arguing about it with no reasonable chance of either of us agreeing.
