[quote=Anonymous]For what it's worth, I know a few people whose parents did what the OP is suggesting--they left for college and their parents split up.  It was REALLY hard for them--just when they were heading out into the world, the foundation was shattered.  They had to figure out who they would visit on school breaks.  They went home to a new house and a completely different family situation.  They were re-evaluating every memory of their parents' marriage and either feeling like their parents had been lying to them for years, or they felt like they never saw anything wrong and now they could not trust their own assessment of a relationship.

So, while I'm sure that other people have different experiences, in my personal experience, leaving your wife when the kids leave for college could really mess them up.  And, if you aren't leaving because of infidelity or abuse, be prepared for your kids to take your wife's side out of loyalty or because they are angry that you are leaving.  [/quote]
