Sep 8, 2018 at 22:11 comment added Ruse @jmc in the 3rd paragraph of your question, you explain what makes no sense to you, which I assumed is the "problem" your house-rule should fix. The only reasoning you've given us for your house-rule has everything to do with facing rules ("enemies in front of you", "regardless of direction") and seemingly nothing to do with your house-rule. In my answer, I did my best to explain why your house-rule does not follow from the reasoning you've given us. But if that reasoning is irrelevant, then it's presence in your question is misleading.
Sep 8, 2018 at 21:28 comment added jcm The 'in front of you' stuff was an example from real life, and one that was not intended to mean something mechanically. I certainly did not think that disengage only applies to certain facings/directions. You are correct about the range thing, though I don't understand how it doesn't solve the problem. Under the rules disengaging into melee range of new enemies don't provoke AoO, under the house-rules it does. How does that not solve the problem?
