My gut tells me he has a long-term plan and needs privacy to move his plan along to the next phase. But (BUT) in the meantime he wants to make certain A) he has a fall back plan, meaning you to meet his “needs” should initial plan fail and B ) he knows he we will need to pay child support. He wants to stay on your good side. Or he may want joint custody.
Don’t let him fool you; he has a plan that unfortunately, will have a significant impact on both of your finances.
Part of being married is sharing the responsibilities and parenting. Either you get equal amount of “time off” or something just isn’t right. Who leaves their wife with the kids and goes on to enjoy time alone while she does everything? I would seriously reevaluate your marriage.

You just got taken! No legal separation? No sis. You are just postponing the inevitable. He just kinda left you? No. He did leave you.
He made it look cute and pretty so you wouldn’t hassle him and put up a fight.
Get yourself a lawyer asap. You’re married. You’re either in or You’re out. Show him what a financial burden really looks like. …child support, marital abandonment, and more. You are smarter than this! Don’t ever be that woman who says “I didn’t see this coming” you sure did now make the NEXT MOVE!!! Say nothing. No discussion no drama.

Sounds like a way to not pay for a divorce and pay child support
But
You should have talks with him about what’s going on in his head…your job as a wife
Does he have depression and anxiety based on his job, outside family etc
If he refuses to talk and open up
Refer back to my 1st statement
Sis, he went and leased an entire bachelor pad. Serve him with an entire divorce. He’s playing you.

I think its a midlife crisis. I’d like to say it will work out, but the day he left was the day things stopped working out. I think he’s trying to see how life is alone and see if he likes it. If he doesn’t then he will work things out. Its up to you if you allow his bullshit or not. I would never, no matter how much I loved him. When you move out, its over, the relationship declines.ike I said its up to you, but I think he’s trying on the single life to see how good it fits!

Everyone says he wants cake and eating too… truth is …if he not happy, why would he even stay for the kids when you create a toxic environment for the kids if you’re consistently arguing in front of them… many of us are seeing the outcome of the situation they having… hell she could be the damn problem… you don’t just ask someone to marry you… get married… and men intentionally hurt and leave u… it’s always a reason. But most of you attorney seeking ladies don’t know how to self reflect!!
tell her the truth… look within yourself… ask the right questions… then make the best decision!! Because he willing to stick around… but not stay in the same house …it’s less stressful to live by yourself… then with a nagging wife who is money watching and probably critical to him and his habits you more than likely married… marriage don’t change the person… the person change for the marriage!!
yea he’s slowly getting ready for someone else n keeping u quiet cheaper to keeper don’t b a fool only you know n put up with it good luck living fir the kids been there gets you no where in life

No, a successful relationship is based on more than love. I don’t know what his problems are and obviously neither do you. It maybe something that can be fixed but on the other hand maybe he’s trying to adjust to a life without you by weaning himself from you.
Hopefully it’s a midlife crisis and that some therapy can help. My suggestion is that he gets individual counseling and you both get marriage counseling together to figure out if you can save your marriage and not deplete your kids college fund. It also wouldn’t hurt if you got some counseling yourself… because I would think…your husband getting up and leaving like that, has gotta hurt! Good Luck!
I think, he is playing the victim.
I hope I’m not rude but he just wants to look like like the good guy ! I bet he’s says you support him moving out so it looks like you don’t want him. Then when you ask for a divorce he will act like his world has ended for attention. I definitely would not sleep with him . He left the house so emotional connections are what needs worked on not the bedroom .
Be cordial for the kids sake !

This sounds like a case of got together, married immediately, next came the babies, the stress, and the mundane “can you take out the garbage” daily stuff. He may be wanting to build a friendship, and get back the romance again. Both great things! However, he is going about it the wrong way. If him moving out was not mutually agreed upon then he is incredibly selfish. But, he may be thinking this is the only way to “save” the marriage.

It sounds like he wants his free time during the week to do whatever or whoever and still see you on weekends. He wants you to think he wants to work it out so you’re not going anywhere or doing anything while he’s living the single life. When you love somekone and you want things to work with them, you don’t move out…you stay and fight for your marriage. Every. Single. Day. 24/7
Get an attorney asap. Talk to them about freezing bank accounts or moving your (and the kids) savings to a safe space he can’t touch. He is slowing phasing you out of his life. If he wanted it to work, he would have stayed, not moved out

Either you’re working together or not … if he needs space and therapy ect do not date him on weekends … he needs space and therapy remember? This isn’t fair to you or the kids to be bouncing around. He needs to make a decision as well do you and stick to it.

As a therapist, I would say in this situation all you can control is yourself. You’re married to someone who seems to know exactly what he wants for himself, therefore I recommend you do the same. Putting his wishes/desires aside…what do you want? If it’s not anything close to what he is proposing I’d focus on a way to achieve what you want with or without him. He’s already doing the same. You’re children will be happiest with a mom that is also happy.

Lived separately from my soon to be ex husband. Worked great for a while but the intimate part of our relationship died. We weren’t laughing or talking or sharing our lives. We became strangers. Sucks but that’s my experience.
Working together doesn’t mean moving out of the house and creating additional financial burdens that are unnecessary. Might wanna keep tabs on him. If it were me I’d get a lawyer quickly.

Truth be told me and my child father separated for a year. When I tell you b4 we split it was BAD… I mean BAD! But and now we’re back together but we live in different states. We’re working slowly to come together. Our communication is better, there’s times I actually miss him as b4 when we were toxic I hated seeing his face. He actually asked me to pick out a ring, b4 I would of NEVER ! All I can say is roll with the punches and everything happens for a reason. But you also have to do what’s best for the kids. Being separate helps sometime to clear your head, heal and then bring it back to the relationship

We call that living apart together. Whether it works, depends on the individual expectations of a relationship. So it can work. But it will never be as intens as living together in good harmony. The last is certainly a must!!

Work on yourself. He shouldn’t hold all the cards, nor make all the calls. He wanted space. That’s his problem to deal with. You may still love him, but work on yourself, and a plan. Maybe get to therapy asap. And please don’t let the children get caught up in his confusion. They need as much stability as possible. Propose he visits them on weekends or takes them on weekends. And please do not “date him” on weekends. If you hold out hope that things may work out, and they don’t, you will be left with a whole lot of heartache and no plans. So, my advice is to work on yourself, get into therapy, make plans for a stable future for you and your children, and take control of your own life. I wish you luck.
He’s left you, set up home elsewhere, requested shared custody and slowly cleaning out your savings, I bet he’s hoping by the time you realise the truth there is nothing left.

I really hate these sand questions
It was over when he walked out the door. His “needing space” is an excuse to have the freedom to do what he wants. He wants to come and go he pleases and doesn’t want a divorce because then he would have to pay child support which would take his party money. In the meantime, you are stuck with your bills that he helped make and you are both using the savings to help pay for everything. When it is gone, it is gone. What will you do then? This is a waste of your peace of mind, time and money. Kick him to the curb because he is not worth all the stress he is causing you and the kids.
He’s mucked up, and doesn’t want to admit it, let him go, make your boundaries clear and just do you and the kids, forget about him, he’s doing what he wants,
Every 1 here is gving u their opinions … bub thats THEIR opinions… they dont know u they dont know him and its ignorant in them thinking they can give u advice like that… u mention therapy… give it a go… u need to decide what YOU want … do u love him?? Do u want to continue this relationship.?? U need to decide what is best for u… if he is allowing for the children to bounce between u both as they like and dating on the wkends u and him… well i dont see time for anything other that work out side of that so i dont believe theres any other reason other than what he has told u … but thats my OPINION … yes anything can work if you want it to… be truthful tell him u are not happy with the situation and try to get the answers out of him u need… no 1 here can help u all we can do is give u our opinions and thoses saying DIVORCE is an only answer here and telling u out of bitterness from their own experiences… they aren’t taking into account any facts because they dont know them their opinions come from their backgrounds and those are not ur story so they are worthless to u… u need to look inwards for the answers u seek … good luck to u i hope u find a way forward thats healthy for u… love and light… 
You best be dipping into your savings to support you and your kids before he takes it all. His actions pretty much says all you need to know.

When you say date… I’m hoping you mean like you and him dating right… honestly I would talk to him and let him know that this can only go on for so long (as long as you think he needs to get it together)… you are his wife, you should know him and what’s going on in y’all marriage. What caused him to move out? Is your marriage a good marriage? Or is it full of drama or toxic? Can you honestly say that it’s only for the kids sake? I mean people that are “married “ usually don’t create more space and move out, specially if there’s kids involved, this can really affect the kids mentally and emotionally… kids see everything! And it seems like his not really caring about you or the kids, his mind is made up… he probably was thinking about leaving you way before, people don’t just wake up one day and say “hey! I think I wanna move out”…no, it doesn’t work that way. I think hi is just easing his way out of your life, I don’t know why but it sounds like it could be 2 things… 1- he is tired of the responsibility of having a family, or 2- he has someone else who he wants to start a new life with.
I would woman up… look after my kids best interests, take out all the money from y’all savings (if you can)… get a lawyer, file for divorce and put him on child support…
This can all be reversed when he makes up his minds and is ready to come back to his family. That’s what I would do!
Don’t be scared to make things worse because it sounds like he doesn’t really care if you struggle on your own… what’s gonna happen when he or both of you use up all the savings? Is he gonna be able to maintain you house, your kids plus his own place? Or does he expects you to cover everything on your own? Girl no, at the end of the day… people only look after themselves, as a mother, it is your responsibility to protect your kids and make sure they are ok and taken care of!
Good luck!
Depends on what kind of downs you two have been having…
Obviously a long talk on what you both expect in the future

What you need to do immediately is see an attorney and determine what your rights are. Also ask the attorney what you need to do to preserve what’s left in your savings.
You need professional advice. Don’t rely on what everyone on Facebook is telling you.
Protect your rights and those of your children now!
Don’t wait for your immature husband to grow up.
You have my prayers and my sympathy.
DIVORCE HIM!!! Do not waste another minute of him playing you for a fool!!! Get his ass paying alimony& child support. You better get a separate acct ASAP before he drains all the money. He’s being a scumbag & probably is and has been having an affair.

Your huisband signed a contract for 2 weeks to live in another house. Apparently his goal is not to work things out with you, but to have other women in his house to have fun with. I would not allow it, because you are still married.
But I also have heard that sometimes it works well for a couple.
No one can answer that for you… if you wanna work in your marriage work on it and respect the living apart for now is what he needs… if not call it quits and work on effectively co parenting

No one can tell you what to do because they are not emotionally attached to the situation. And therefore easy for these people to say get a divorce. The answer to all our problems is in ourselves. You already know what you need to do. As you say, if he loves you he would be there. I rather think that if there was another man on the scene, he would be back like lightning. Worth thinking about.

Sounds to me like he’s separating from you. I agree you should get legal advice ASAP. This is not married behaviour and it won’t work with him putting space between you. My ex husband did this whilst we were having marriage counselling, all the time insisting we could work things out but he’d already decided he wanted to leave me. Move your savings ASAP so he can’t get hold of them or you’ll be left with nothing for you and the kids. Why should he get a trial run at being separated/divorced? My advice would be to divorce rather than separate. Sorry to sound harsh but I’ve seen this exact behaviour and all the excuses that go with it before. Good luck
Women ! Think the comments speak for themselves tbh …take HEED guys!
You know some relationships get very routine and boring, hence why alot of people end up having affairs so they can have a little excitement. If he’s pitching in with the kids, not having an affair and he’s moved out for a bit and wants to date again I think that it’s sweet he’s trying to bring the spark back with you… but only you know what you’re comfortable with… just don’t let anybody tell you what’s OK within your relationship… half the people screaming divorce probably have very miserable husbands who cheat the first chance they get…
