[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Child of divorced parents (multiple times each) here. It really doesn't matter. Whether you nest or consciously uncouple or whatever new age method is out there, you are taking a nuclear bomb to their life as they know it - rip the bandaid off now. Separate clean. [/quote]

This.  Clean break and something financially effective.  You can't bird-nest forever, and your kids might hate it anyway, especially if you're unable to get along.  Don't put them through one weird transition (and yes, they will definitely notice the bird-nesting) and then another transition out of the house.  It's very difficult to manage a household across two adults who seldom see each other, and to co-manage an apartment too.  So number 3.  Or maybe number 1 if you can't quite pull off the logistics of number 3.

Your DH needs to accept that his choice to divorce means the kids don't get to live in a nice house.  That's the bottom line.  The adults need to own their choices and be real about the consequences and the impact on their children.  [/quote]
