[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I separated from my DH but didn’t have another place to “move out” to (at least, that wasn’t a permanent type move) so I moved into a spare bedroom. That was incredibly awkward as during this phase we would both go out with our friends and sometimes not come home until later (no kids), and it’s like okay, do I have the right to ask where you were? Should I come home early to not look like I’m out banging the whole town? It was so, so weird. But, it reinforced the divide that had already grown between us and made our minds up that things were over.

We decided the best thing to do was just start the divorce proceedings and after two weeks of the separate bedroom arrangement I got my own place. I am a woman, I make my own income and my XH owned the house before we were married. I didn’t hate him and had no desire to uproot him or put him in a financial spot he couldn’t afford, so I just left the house without a fight. [/quote]

I haven’t read the rest of the thread so forgive me if you answered this.

Did you get any of the equity that accumulated while you were married? I am in a similar position, DH owned the house before we met. Or did you not even address it, bc you didn’t need too?

I’m not currently in a position to afford my own place- I’m one of those women everyone hates that stayed home with her kids. Wondering if I need to be back to work to save for a place before going through with the divorce. [/quote]

PP here. I didn’t ask for it. We didn’t end our relationship on bad terms and I knew even just having to pay all of the bills himself, with me gone, would be enough of a hardship. I didn’t want to really make things difficult for him and I knew I’d be able to support myself. A clean break was more important to me. [/quote]
