If you did arrange that each of you stays in the home half the week, where would each of you stay the other days? Did you plan to also share an apartment? What you are suggesting is just trying to hang on to the status quo when the reality is that you both need to separate and live your own lives from the time you file. Financially it will be hard for both of you but staying in the home will only delay the problems. Also it will confuse the kids as to why mom is here alone for some days and dad is here alone for others. You will both only see your son on certain days. Nothing you try now will change that. You are also making things easier for you W in many ways since you are there full time even if sleeping on the couch so she has a "babysitter" regularly.
Accept the fact that life is no longer the same and make plans for a new life in the best way you can. Holding on will not change the final outcome and is only adding to the tension.
