Goodness dude you are at least 50 something. You have no business looking for a roommate and I assure you anyone you find wouldn't be someone you'd want to live with

But, I hear what so many of you are saying, and living alone may be the better scenario.
If you need to move out, live alone and start going to the gym. I’m
not sure how much you all have tried, but if there’s a chance, get the love and respect curriculum by Emerson Eggerich and finish it.

Actually in most decent sized cities there are support groups for men going through this exact situation. Very similar to AA or whatever. He can start going to those meetings and network with guys and he is very likely to find someone compatible.
I knew a guy whose wife left him as soon as the kids went to college. He was alone in a 4br house kind of wandering around in shock. He networked with some guys going through similar issues and they turned it into an Old School vibe place with big screen TVs and a pool table.

This guy will be remarried to someone, he never knew before, within six months.
Some men can't be alone for 10 minutes.

Zillow it's filters the amount you want to spend the area.
I would get a condo in a foot traffic area, but that will be tight on$ 1200

Does anyone have suggestions for a website or a good method to find a roommate to share a rental?
I’m guessing she left due to you being tight as shite?

I was in your situation a few years ago. I lucked up and found a trailer to rent. 1000 bucks a month and it included some utilities. It wasn't a show piece but the landlord was an elderly couple and they were happy to rent to someone older and not into the party scene. They hated when I moved out. I still swing by and visit when I am in the neighborhood.
Good luck

You understand she can still blow up your credit, drain all of your accounts, and put you into arrears on everything, including taxes, and you have zero protection, right?

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.
I’m very sorry to hear that.
One question though, what’s the end game? If you’re not going to divorce her (and I'm assuming she won’t file either) are y’all just planning to live legally married but estranged? Or do you think there’s a possibility of reconciliation in the future (which might make the separation temporary)?
If you intend to stay legally married, I’m guessing the financial picture is complicated so I think I’d hash that out before I move out.
