My 10 by 10
My bedroom feels like the ONLY place in my house i have any peace when he is home. Even when he isnt the house just does not feel like MINE anymore. My room has been MY room for six years now(slept separate after marisa was born to change shifts and i slept so much better as he snores i have insomnia) so it feels like my only space that is truly mine that i have any sense of calm in.

That is good though..
I had the basement couch... I referred to as my "safe spot".
We all need a safe place.

I slept on the couch permanently a few years before I found evidence. I was fed up with his duplicitous behavior. I demanded he sleep there and he wouldn’t.
Why does the innocent spouse get exiled to the couch?
No - It's not too late. It's not hopeless. Even there, there's something I can do. I just have to find the will. Ikiru (1952), film directed by Akira Kurosawa

I have my own bed in my own room to myself but it is the ONLY room in the house that is like mine where i dont have to be near the husband as is locked but the big point is that it is so isolating and i feel like its chipping at my sanity. I am sure how prisoners feel
