To respond to the questions about me not kicking her out of the house...I can ask her to leave, and her answer is "no". Then what? I cannot physically remove her...

The going dark thing is a reference to where members here simply leave their spouse unannounced for days or weeks. This shows the spouse that they are done with the marriage and gives the spouse a chance to miss them.

In my case, the kids need me home. My wife actually puts tge kids before everything, as do I. That is the only reason we are still living together right now. I handle every single car repair, home repair, taxes, insurance, major purchase, finances, yard work, home technology, etc. My wife takes care of the kids, works, and does some chores...nothing more.
