My last posts at the previous thread:

Quote Ovr:

Just politely let her know that you are not open to that idea.

You mean not open to sharing a bed? OR to separating the beds and sharing the room?
Not sure I can enforce her NOT sleeping in the house, given the kids are here and the days that she is actually at home are the days that are supposed to be her time with the kids...
Will think and consider this during the week.

Question in regards to a post by Steve85 on another thread, by kto626.
So I guess the question is mainly for Steve but obviously open for anyone to discuss/answer.

On the other thread you wrote:

The best thing I can see you doing at this point is to take her Plan B away. I would highly consider retaining a lawyer and filing for D.

I think our sitches are fairly similar however when I have mentioned D it has seemed most ppl say "wait", "let her do it" "how will that help you?" etc.
So how is his situation different? I cant really see that.

To be clear, no matter I fully agree on not filing for D when you are not ready.
So this question is more about whether filing is, in general, a good action or not towards a WW.

I meant to say that you should tell her that you are not open to splitting the bed at all. You're going to sleep there.

But, I'm not sure what you meant about the bed exactly when you said

What do you guys think about suggesting that we split the bed in two.
Today its one King size bed with a single King size duvet.

LH saying she "sleeps in the cabin" just meant that she can get out of the MBR. Everyone agrees that you cannot force her to leave the house either.

[Mumin]

OK, So the King size in our MBR is actually possible to split in two singles.
If W is to sleep in the house, but not in the MBR, the only room left is the kitchen...
So hence my suggestion to arrange for two separate beds in the MBR.
Will probably sleep at my brothers place tomorrow to avoid W for another night. Then during the weekend I will probably need to take this fight. Unless she accepts this and just sleeps in the Cabin for now..

M,

I don’t think you are quite grasping the concept. It’s your house you are not the cheater. You are not avoiding her (you didn’t do anything wrong) and you don’t give a fuch if she sleeps in the dishwasher.

[Vapo]

I second LH,

why the phuc would you want to accommodate her? Let her sleep where she wants, the main thing is that you do not leave the MBR. Do not split the beds. she can split them if she chooses to. Do not go out of your way trying to help her.

Will probably sleep at my brothers place tomorrow to avoid W for another night.

This will lose you respect, and make you look even more unattractive to your W (and every other woman).


What are you afraid of?

[ovrrnbw]

I remember wanting to get out of the house in my sitch. My dad told me I could stay there, my mom said no. Looking back, God bless my mother. What am I, a homeless child? No. I regret asking her. Be a man, stay in your home. Why delay the inevitable "fight".

You're are being too emotional about this. It's your house, your bed, and she's the one who wants out. Let her get out.

[Ready2Change]

A woman is attracted to a man that will protect her. In her mind (maybe even subconsciously) she will ask "how can he protect me if he won't even stand up to me."

[Mumin]

Thanks LH, ovr, Vapo, R2C!

you don’t give a fuch if she sleeps in the dishwasher.

Quote of the day! And sort of what I wish for her most of the time.

Also very good!

Might sleep at home tomorrow. Depends on my night tomorrow.
To explain a bit if I am out in the city past 22:00 I have to take a cab home for like (at least!) 100 US dollars.
We live in the woods far away from the City. My brother basically lives in the city center.
However, it is a very good point to not delay the inevitable "fight".
IF I do not sleep at home it should ONLY be for purely logistical purposes.

Thanks again!!!
