I agree that I should not move out. I get that. She left it as she needs 'time apart' and either I go or she goes. In that exchange I said I'd go, but in couples counseling discussed not moving out. My concern with her is that she can get really reactive when upset and I'm worried that if I refuse to move out she'll move out and take the kids. That [censored] too. The couples therapist really picked up on me not wanting to move out and I hope we make some headway this week. otherwise I'm not sure what to do. She wants her space and I'm not sure how to give it.
I am on the couch and not sure how to get back in the bedroom at this point. Your point about risk of physical abuse is if I move back in against her will? Part of this is trying to keep the kids out of the loop for the moment. If I can turn this thing before moving out they don't need to be affected...I know the clock is ticking though.
