Seperating and Moving on

Hello fellow MN
I have several questions considering a seperation.
Me and Husband are living seperate lives. He works in Europe, comes back at random times. Ive just initiated seperate sleeping arrangements at home. Basically im sick of sharing my space with him and want seperate lives. Am thinking, next time he is due home from work, he or I find somewhere else to stay. I have more friends than he does so it would be *easier for me to move out while he is here so he can share the time with our DD. It has worked well in principle over this H/T week and im having a couple of days away.....has anyone else on here done anything similar and also, did you apply for a 'seperation order' to split or go straight for 'Divorce'. Which way round is 'easier' to do? (given that after 2 years seperation you can divorce easier I think?). Divorce seems so final but I think thats what we need ultimately.....(this has been coming for 4+ years!).
We are both amicable and both agree its time to move on - although he wants a 'clean break' which is not really poss when you share a daugther is it?. Sorry so many questions. Thanks!.

Hi OP! We've moved this over to our Divorce and Separation board for you.

Of course it’s possible to have a clean break. That is what most people do. And if it is what he wants to do there isn’t much you can do to prevent it.

He really doesn’t need to agree to your suggestion. Which is limiting for him if he wants a UK base of his own where he can see his daughter and live as he wants.

In his shoes I’d want to sell up and buy/ rent a place of my own. I wouldn’t want to share your space even if you weren’t there.

How would that option work from you POV
