While I was the originating force behind our separation, he is on board. He is actually moving in to the apartment of a friend who will be out of state all summer, so it's really a perfect situation because there's no commitment or lease, he can find something for himself with no financial outlay and ... we could hypothetically decide we want him back at the house without issue.
But OMG he's driving me up a wall. It's so "real" to him now, packing his things, that he is getting super needy and wanting to be next to me, getting sappy, saying/doing things that are borderline guilt trips, etc. I am so glad that we are amicable and still friends, but he's about ready to have me kick him out the door if he doesn't stop this!
And in other news, I bought a new Tempurpedic mattress that will be delivered tomorrow AM! Holy crap that's not money I wanted to spend, but my mattress sucks ass and it's time for a new one to have all to myself!

My situation is a little different in that I am the one who moved out (and also the one who decided to end things after my H had an affair), but life did get REALLY real last week when I moved out, and the two weeks before that were full of INTENSE emotion on the part of my H, which basically drove me nuts. In my experience, once you are actually separated, it will be so much better, if only because the stuff you are working through is not always in your face. Hang in there!
