I am building up to telling my DH I want us to separate. I've got a thread in Relationships called 'should I give him a third chance?'
But I'm not sleeping well therefore don't feel strong enough to deal with this because I'm so worried about the logistics of a split. I feel completely stuck.
Our joint income equals our outgoings. We don't save and though I'm self employed I don't earn enough for a pension say, or enough in the tax-savings account (though I aim to save 15-20% of my SE earnings) as we need all my income for monthly expenditure.
So how would we have enough for both mortgage and running of 1 house to a flat as well for DH? And of course it would need to be big enough for 2 kids to visit at weekends. I really don't want to sell the house as we only moved here a few months ago and the kids have moved several times in recent years. They need stability.
Any advice about how it all works?
