with the above. My ex-DH did the same thing. Came to me out of the blue (in my mind) and told me he thought he had to move out to "clear things up". A myriad of reasons followed. He refused to consider counseling, I cried and asked what I could do to make him not do such a thing - nothing worked - he had made up his mind that he needed to move out and that was it. Long story short - and I'm not saying this is your situation at all - he wanted to move out so he could fool around with another woman and 'see where that went', basically he figured the grass was greener with someone else, but didn't have the balls to completely sever our relationship. He wanted me as a backup plan. I was in limbo for 5 agonizing months before I told him to basically move back in, agree to counseling or I was filing for divorce. I have been divorced now for over 2 years It was a very difficult time for me, and I still have moments of resentment against him because of his unbelievable selfishness. Oddly enough though, my son and I are much happier in our daily life now than we were before. It is hard at times, because I do feel bad that my son's father is not "there" for him, but honestly, he wasn't there for him when we were married so....

Anway! I know I don't know you, but I have you and your family in my thoughts and prayers, I hope your situation works out the best for you and your children.
