Assuming for a moment that Sheila is committed to separating, many questions arise about how to do this. Shall I pay $2,500/mo (going rate) for some crappy apartment in the neighborhood? Shall I pay a little less and move in with a roommate/friend/colleage? Sheila has her folks' condo up the hill that she can stay in, and reluctantly Sheila's acknowledged that in the short term maybe we should double up there as well, so that when one of us is in the house, the other is in the condo.
Upon further consideration, I think I'd prefer to stay in the house full time. Sheila can skip off to the condo whenever she likes, but there's really no reason for me to do this. Probably won't go over well with Sheila, but neither is the divorce, for me. I think I'll be quite comfy staying in my own house. Yes, I think I'll be quite comfy indeed.
Once I start dating again, things turn a little more dicey, but not impossible. Then we can do the condo switcheroo thing, or maybe Betty Newbie can just come move in. We'll have to see.
There is no good solution. Only less crappy ones. Just like the days I'm living right now.
