Tell me if this is a bonkers idea. 2 dc aged 10 and 12. together 16 years, married. I want to split, we are in separate rooms. Seen solicitor, arranging mediation. He doesn't want to split up but I think he's accepted it. Both of us don't want to move, me because kids are settled here and they've moved around enough (but I would up sticks and move if it was me). Him because he says it will upset his mental health, he has history.
We live in a big-ish house atm. It could be extended over the garage and effectively we could build a granny annexe, so separate entrance. We could afford this fairly easily. I haven't mentioned this to him yet. I wouldn't mind living in granny annexe. Then when kids are old enough, sell and split proceeds. All pre agreed with solicitors etc.
Is this a bonkers idea?
