There is an app called furnishedfinder that is mostly geared toward travel nurses and such. You can find room rentals in people’s houses or maybe a small apartment. Don’t be cheap if your wife has caused this though. Get you a nice place of your own.
I rent out two of our places on FF. It’s a wonky platform but no commissions and no BS. I’ve had great tenants over the past few years.

Any possibility to convert it into a duplex? Or as much of a duplex as possible? If you both aren't planning on divorcing, make yourself a kitchen and wall off common area.

Not worth it at all

They allow reviews like airbnb?

I think so, but I don’t think it’s very well-utilized.
The calendar is a shitshow too. It doesn’t sync or update or anything. And manually you can’t block out dates. Only say “available until.” I’ve tried to talk to customer service and I’m pretty sure I was talking to Sri Lankan AI on a 1978 Merlin.
Got a notice the other day they’re upgraded it. We’ll see.

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.
Hate to say it but doing this is a bad mistake. If you plan to live separately and not act like a married couple, why would you avoid getting a divorce? This will continue to mess with you mentally and it will cost you more financially in the long run.

Danget Jimbeaux- I really feel for you and I understand why you’re making that choice now. I tend to agree with the other replies, that despite your desire to not divorce, she may have other plans. Whether you keep your vow or not, distance is distance, and she will likely move on. If church doctrine has you committed, have you spoken with your priest?
I’m assuming she’s in the house- would it make sense to negotiate a home sale with her so you have access to more resources? Can you coexist long enough to make a mutually beneficial plan rather than sink money into a temporary living arrangement?

Find a bargain basement price apartment somewhere less than desirable.
That's better than a roommate

Does anyone have suggestions for a website or a good method to find a roommate to share a rental?
Try MySpace

Try a website called Grindr and tell them you need a roommate. It’s legit - it stands for Get Roommates Immediately No Deposits Required.

Seem to be hearing about too many guys getting messed over after 30+ years providing for families then ending up out in the cold while in the 4th quarter of life.

know it will be difficult to have a roommate
I would think that one of the few upsides to getting divorced in your 50’s would be the opportunity to have your own place. I’ve been married for 25 years and looking back only lived by myself 6 mths out of my whole life.
I loved it.

I know an old lady that separated from her husband 25 years ago and due to being Catholic.
She actually let him live out the rest of his life in an apartment she owned a few miles away.

Moving out is stupid.
If you have no plans to divorce then just tell your wife you're going to create your own separate life inside your shared living space. That's right, your space as much as hers, ancestral home be damned.
Tell her to think of you as a new roommate. Hell, you can even spend some money to build a man cave.
She might begin to see you in a new light if you stand your ground and refuse to walk away from a life you helped build. You sound highly passive and that is a terrible combination with a narcissist. If you don't want to change yourself, ok, but if you just want a better life, what have you got to lose?

Well I didn’t say sorority because all I’ve ever seen is house moms.
A convent!? Really? Only if my dick didn’t work.
