Hey KB

In my case, I survived a little over 2 months living with XW after BD. I was trapped in a 70m2 shack, sleeping on the floor in the tiny lounge room on a matress next to XW, S and SD. I had to leave for my sanity. I couldn't take the gut churn I got every time I pulled in the driveway from work. It surprised my XW when i said I was leaving, but she quickly said she realised she couldnt live with me either apparently, despite wanting us to still live together as 'friends' for financial security.

I'd give it a little more time and thought, especially if you have somewhere to retreat to in the house. I had nowhere, and I mean nowhere, I could retreat to, whihc was tough if getting monstered or treated like a scorned stranger.

I dont know if its made it easier to detach, as I'm still very much slogging that path. If I'd stayed, I think I'd have been worse emotionally. If you do move, maybe stay with friends, or just somebody, because it gets lonely sometimes.

Give it more time before making a call.

Good luck mate. Cheers DS
