I need to see how things go. I also need to protect myself and the children financially. A D would do that. From what I have seen, the longer you wait the worse things can get, the more money they can spend, and the more likely they are to turn advisarial. I am afraid that if this OW does move in with him she could want the house for her kids and a bigger piece of the pie.
I am also of the opinion that a D is a piece of paper. We could always get remarried if H woke up. Even if we started going to a mediator it would be a while before it would be official anyway, and H could wake up before then. I do know that I do not have it in me to wait years. I also do not have religious reasons to stand.
