There’re many things couples need to take into account after they decide to get a separation

Without moving out, my wife told me after 15 years that she wanted us to get divorced. For most of our relationship, I was carrying the major part of our expenses.
Towards the end of 2020, she managed to land herself a stable job after years of unemployment. Nevertheless, her contributions to the household were still few and far between.
She only pays rent which does not always happen when due or even paid fully as it turns out lately. Everything else such as utilities, insurance coverage for car/home/personal property protection costs, and groceries plus others are solely my responsibility with phone payments and car notes among others being within my reach alone for instance.
At first, she had a good job, but as soon as we started living together things changed. After that, she realized that she was not contented in her chosen profession and wanted to do arts, something which I supported and encouraged because I loved her and wanted her to be happy.
Therefore, the only person having a steady income for the last ten years is me. This has not always been an easy task, especially during this pandemic but I have kept us going. As much as she has remained carefree and unattached with no problems of being old enough for retirement. Besides, among my responsibilities is raising my step-children who still reside with us without work or school.
Nevertheless, now that we are getting a divorce from each other, it isn’t fair for me to stay looking after an adult family at home. I also cannot stand being in this house which hurts me very badly but according to her I will get over it when I “find peace.”
Her point is that now she travels a lot so moving would not be such a big deal because when she comes back home, she can sleep on the couch, and besides am still her best friend.
But I think she just wants to keep me there so I can support her financially because she knows it’s not easy for her to meet the bills on her own.
So, AITA if I look for my place without telling her?

Two primary reasons may explain why separated couples choose to cohabit in the same house. One of them is young children

During divorce, parents are supposed to be concerned about their children’s welfare. Stepparents have similar legal duties as those during marriage institutions that might require few obligations. Adoption may be required for a continued relationship with stepchildren. Finances and setting boundaries for exes should always be maintained at this hard time.
Stressful moments can come up when divorced people still live together; hence leading to quarrels and bitter feelings. Divide incomes into separate accounts, creating secret savings. Joint parenting is one, as well as unresolved emotions; others include a 10-15% rate of return and a 30% chance of future dissolution. There is an elementtoo that is concerning stigma and cultural beliefs.
