Rule number 3 in a divorce, never leave the home until the divorce is final.
Also, how much of ya’lls life savings did you drink and gamble away?

This needs to be what the thread is about instead of about an old man needing a roommate.

Suggest you tell us what happened so we can better serve your need.
Well, we’ve been little more than roommates for a few years, so I figured I could handle a roommate who’s at least not openly hostile.
I’m a hard-headed Catholic who tried to make things work LONG after realizing that the marriage was a mistake. When the kids were still at home, they were the reason I stayed, along with the unaffordability of raising them and paying for 2 households.
I don’t plan to divorce. We’ll just live separately. I’ve been a married incel for so long that I’m prepared for the continued sacrifice, but I think my soul is more in danger being around this covert narcissist than living alone.

Are the hassles of a roommate just not worth the savings?
If my wife and I ever divorce I would live in my truck before getting a roommate. I’m sure you can find a one bedroom spot somewhere.
Money might be tight for a little while but it will be alright baw.
ETA: after reading your post just now you and your wife need therapy or something. If you’re going to live separately and deal with all the additional expenses you may as well get divorced. It sounds like you guys aren’t fans of each other anyway.

Yes, it is. Yes I am.
I’ve suffered with nice guy syndrome from my childhood and I put up with this mistreatment for way way too long.
Once I finally figured out what was happening, and years of being genuinely befuddled by her irrational behavior, I became both calmer by having the answer, and ashamed that it took me so long to figure it out.

Dude you're at least 50, just get a shitty apartment if you want to save money. 10k a year isn't worth dealing with a roommate.

where are you looking and what's your idea of a reasonable rent?
not trying to be a dick but you'll probably be disappointed by what's available at a low price, assuming you've been living in a single family home for all/most of the last 30 years.

Well, that’s the type of opinion I’m looking for.
I grew up in a very large family and have never actually lived alone. I always had a roommate before getting married.
I know it will be difficult to have a roommate, but truthfully, if anyone is capable of establishing a good working relationship with a roommate, it’s me. I’m reasonable and kind, but not afraid of being direct if there’s an issue that needs to be discussed.
But, I hear what so many of you are saying, and living alone may be the better scenario.
Any specifics or anecdotes about roommates (housemates) would be helpful.

It’s her family’s ancestral home in New Orleans. We bought it from her father in 2000.
It would not be right to take that from her, and it would be a real problem for my adult kids.
