So funny as my A also used to say the same sort of things when we were still living together (but imploding as the drinking spiraled out of control). "Maybe if we move out of the big house in the hills and just get a nice condo, etc." When I moved into my much downgraded and much smaller apartment by myself, he actually then suggested that "after he went to rehab (obv that never happened) and we worked things out that he could move in there with me and we could go back to living a simpler life, etc." DELUSIONAL!
