I have a friend who has been doing this for years. I recently asked her questions about it because I recently realized just how long this has been going on. One question was do you even get along? And she said NO, but they don't really argue a whole lot in front of the child. They just don't talk much about anything other than their child. They just live like they're roommates and like anyone who lives together for along time there are ups and downs. But one of the main reasons people seperate is to reduce alot of the fighting which is bad for the children. I think it takes two very strong people who both put their children well above their own needs. It is difficult to have any kind of social life. Which was my second question and she said that she has not had a serious relationship because of it. I also asked if her son was confused and she said that he asked questions and they used the roommate analogy, it appeased him enough for now. Her son seems to be well adjusted.
I can ask her more detailed questions if you like. I believe she would love to have a "detatched garage" instead of being in seperate rooms across the hall.
The proposal might be a great one depending on the reasons you wife is asking for a seperation.
Good luck
