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.


Rule#1 in a divorce. Don’t be nice

If you don’t want to “take” the home for her, that fine, but there’s not point putting yourself in a worse off financial position while she gets to stay rent free.

This certainly has the potential to be the best tread on the OT in many years.

Are the hassles of a roommate just not worth the savings?

Yeah no offense to OP, and I'm sorry for his separation, but I'd rather live in a single wide in the woods of LP or a travel trailer than have a roommate at 47.


Exactly.

F it, rent a small commercial space with an air conditioned office or two and a roll up door.

I recommend selling ur car buying a diesel truck and a 5th wheel camper so you mobile until you get divorce finalized and can re establish roots.

If finances are so tight that you can’t get your own place in your 50s, my advice is to sleep in your car or in a tent. (This may also explain your sudden separation.)

Find a way to stay in the home. If you have to lock yourself in a bedroom when you get home do it. Or better yet, stay away from the house all day everyday except to sleep. When the shtf and you have to leave buy a small camper and rent a spot at a decent campground.

Best of luck.

1st, sorry you're going through this.

2nd, go through it alone. You don't want to deal with this around somebody you don't even know.

I'm in the same place, granted without children and 20yr shorter marriage.. but I feel this. The relief that comes after you accept what's happening and move forward with your life is absolutely worth the pain of separation/divorce.

could probably make it comfortably at $1000/month, and squeeze by at $1,200.

Single guy here in BR. You can maybe find a decent 1br apartment in BR for 1200. Maybe. And that's just rent. Add another 200 for utilities

Bruh.. You don't want a roommate. I assume you are in your 50s? Not that this means anything, but I have never heard of someone in their 40s.. 50s and so on who had a roommate.

Maybe find someone who has a place out back they are renting? I say this because I know of an older guy who does this. The person who owns the place made a shop out back into a one room apartment that they rent out. Its reasonably priced as well so maybe find a situation like that, but you are not finding a normal roommate.
