My husband and I have decided to seperate but I don't know if we are going to be doing it the right way. We have decided that I will be the one to move out by myself closer to my job which is 45 minutes away from home and he will stay here with the kids. We don't want to take them out of their home which they are very comfortable in and have lots of friends and stability here. I will be able to see my children whenever I want. Also, he works from home and all of his client base is around our home. It wouldn't make any sense any other way. The only thing is is that I feel very guilty for leaving my kids behind, especially my 6 year old daughter. Having lots of confusion about this. Can't afford any other way though. This is the hardest thing I have to go through and I don't want anyone thinking that I am abandoning my kids which I am certainly not doing. My kids are my world and it is gonna be so hard to be away from them everyday. Anybody have any similar experience with this? Your comments are deeply appreciated!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Having said that I used to be a children and I hated when my parents fought they had loud physical ugly fights. It didn't start that way it turned into that from years of bad communication and mental abuse on both their parts.
Mom and Dad stayed together and that is something I can never thank them enough for...but I have no idea what a healthy relationship looks like.
The point I am trying to make is that your kids will be affected either way. You will be their role models whether you want to or not. You can either show them someone who will not settle for less than she deserves in the relationship or you can show them someone who is willing to stay at home no matter what.
It is impossible for anyone bt you to make that call.
Otherwise, I'd be concerned that he could make a good argument for abandonment if you ended up in a custody battle.
I think you need to get all of the terms in writing, bottom line.
Ask him to help if money is a challenge. Now, no child is left behind. Does this help?
