I also vote no basement. I though that moving out might wake the H up, but all it did was make him decide that he did not want to work on the marriage. He felt betrayed because I left the house and gave him an excuse to not do anything else. (Like he ever did much in the first place, but I digress) She might think of the move to the basement as a hostile action, so don't go there. I know the pain of being in the same bed with the person that you love and you can't touch them, but it's better than starting WWIII.
