What is the literal translation of "私はこのうちを出ます"?


I am trying to understand the bolded part of the following sentence:

> 春子は言いました。「わかりました。では、 **私はこのうちを出ます** 」

which translates to

> Haruko replied, "Okay. Well **I'll leave then.** "

Note this is spoken in the context of a relationship. So it could be further
translated to "I'm leaving this romantic relationship with you".

**Question:** What does "私はこのうちを出ます" _literally_ translate to?

**Attempt:**

  * 私は = "As for me"
  * この = "this"
  * うち = "inside"
  * 出ます = "leaving"

So is the literal translation

> "As for me, I'm leaving this inside"?

Is my translation totally wrong, or is this just the Japanese way of
communicating "I'm leaving this romantic relationship"?




It's more like the end of living together than the end of a relationship.

In this case, うち means "house', and by extension, 'family'. So it's like
saying "I'm leaving this house" or "I decided to stop living with you". It
doesn't literally mean "I don't consider you and I are a family/couple any
more" (although it may sometimes be implied).

私/僕はこのうちを出ます is typically said by a wife leaving her husband, a son leaving
his parents, etc. It presupposes that the speaker and the listener have lived
together.

(Strictly speaking, the quoted passage does not specify who the listener is,
and it could be a third person, but it seems like under the most likely
situation the listener is the person(s) left behind.)
