I have read the Q&A section on Plan A/B, but still don't understand. I get the impression that Plan A is separating the WS from OP and doing so without any negativity. And Plan B is separation of BS and WS without emotion.<p>Is this correct?

Is it possible to Plan A while separated? W and I have spoken a few times about "ME" moving to an apartment. Came close this week. I am trying to Plan A my hardest, but don't think I am very successful. I have mixed emotions about moving out. Feel that I would be giving up. Also concerned about my Diabetes Control...low bloodsugars. W says she thinks it would be a good idea for me to move until we can both sort through our issues. I will be giving up our house, our kids, our pet, our everything because she had an affair. <p>Should I move or stay and can Plan A still work when separated? What is the difference between this and Plan B?

RH: My situation is unique. We live in a historic house handed down many generations of her family to her. The kids must remain with her as well, as much as I don't like that, but my health issues will not permit me to take them. I would like for the kids to remain with the house and I want them to be safe.

WAT: Thanks, that is what I need. Someone to slap me around a bit. Sometimes I don't learn so quickly. <p>Anyway, that is what I decided to do. I changed my mind and I am not leaving unless I am forced to. Things are not improving right now. She has halted all sex, I love you talk and any other form of positive affections. OM is definitely still in the picture. Cell history wiped clean every night. Today, I had lunch at the restarant she was supposed have eaten at. When I said I ate there, she said she sent someone else there to get something for her. FOG.<p>Thanks for your direct response. I need that.
