text: i'd like to explain.  to her why i need her to leave - the divorce has been extremely painful to me and i expect it will be a long time before i can feel comfortable around her again.

Use this:

```text
I want to explain why I asked to stay by myself. This divorce has been extremely painful for me, and I’m not comfortable sharing space with you right now. I expect it may be a long time before I feel at ease around you again. This isn’t meant to be punitive or to create more conflict. It’s just the reality of where I am, and I need that space.
```

If you want, I can make it softer or more blunt.


text: can you make it much softer?


text:
Use this:

```text
I just wanted to explain why I asked about staying by myself. This has all been very painful for me, and I don’t think I’m in a place yet where sharing space would feel easy or comfortable. I imagine that may take some time. I’m not trying to make things harder — I just wanted to be honest about where I am.
```
