re: Getting separated after 32 years - where to find a roommate?

craigslist is still a good spot to find a roommate. I own a home and have been renting out 1 bed room or 2 bedrooms for about 20 years now and found all my roommates on craigslist, or yahoo chat when it was a thing. I've probably made close to 200grand and the bills aren't that much higher. You'd be the type I'd take in b/c you probably pay on time and don't have your priorities messed up. You want to try to find an existing room already with someone you can co-exist with in your age range, and not find the person and then go find a place. If you're a hetero male your best roommate will be another hetero male. Don't do the outwardly gays and be cautious of the females. The female roommates are usually a lot of attitude and trouble

Classic Boomer Mentality, They cant let go of their, "shek·els"
Ive watched multiple older mentality, refuse to sell their homes, then go into assisted living or Nursing home, only to die. Then some retard in their family get its, then refuse to sell it below "market value" where it sits and falls apart for years. Then fire sales it when property taxes are backed up and due.
The worth dealing with, is worth dealing with to them when it comes to their "shek·els"

used camper van or pull behind you can keep at a campground/move around so you have options since you still have a house to go back to/store stuff at and it seems like this a transition plan for now
get a gym membership to work out and shower there
no need to jump into a lease

Are these the same as “doll-hairs”?
I think you are dissing the “Jew-ish” people.

I have a rental property in Lake Charles that would be perfect for a bachelor.

My daddy told me something decades ago that I've always remembered and it's about the same thing you said, but simpler: "Peace of mind is a bargain at any price."

Everything we have is only on loan from God. NONE of this "stuff" is going with us when we die.

It’s not the money. I guess as a man I still feel a little torn on helping if needed.

After 30 room mates are not possible. They are called partners among other things.

I interpreted Jimbeaux's not planning on filing for divorce a Catholic thing not a financial thing.
I have a cousin who stays in an unhappy situation because he doesn't believe in divorce. Annulment is a statement that there was no real marriage in the eyes of the Catholic church regardless of whether children were born.

I think this is what Jimbeaux is searching for.
If you have ever been married to a woman, I think we are all thinking maybe this man is on to something.

I don’t plan to divorce. We’ll just live separately.
I can't begin to tell you how terrible of an idea this is from a legal perspective.
She can ruin your life in so so so so many ways.
And now matter what YOUR PLAN is, that isn't her plan.
The time for being nice is over. Your kids are grown. Look out for you, and you alone. Get a lawyer, now. If you have a friend you can stay with temporarily, do that.

I have been divorced for 10 years and I still feel some obligation to the mother of my children. I would help her if she needed something done at the house. It took years to think this way and also to not try and talk ourselves out of the divorce. There was a time though that we hit for over it. Would not think twice if she asked for help.
This kind of devotion to an ex partner would be looked at as disrespectful to a new partner by a lot of people (women.)

Make her move out she cheated on you

Get a small camper and bounce between state parks in the area.

Possibly and it’s not a regular occurrence.. I actually think that because I raised my daughter with me at my house through her teen years they kind of see it as I take care of business. Any female I get into a relationship with (has to be a good one) I want to know going in that’s how it is. If anything if they have been through a divorce they may respect it.

Head down to your nearest Edwin Watts dealership and tell them you’re looking to get fitted for a new roommate.

Until we figure out the finances,
Keep your cards close. Never reveal or show your hand before it is time.
Divorce is never easy. Neither is amputating a limb and learning to live without it. It’s painful, takes a long time to heal, and you never truly get over it. The trauma will last a lifetime.
Focus on yourself and your children, even if they are adults. You are still their father, just like she will always be their mother. Don’t talk about the other spouse in front of your children. Always take the high road.
And always be true to yourself, even if it means riding solo for a little while. Life is going to look different. And it is going to feel different. Utilize this time period to reconnect with yourself and work on things about you and for you that you have either wanted to do or neglected.
