I was all for you splitting the house with your W as the right thing to do until your recent posts. Your W sounds like she's being a grasping, childish, manipulative bitch. The comments relayed to friends about her and OM regarding what "they" plan on doing with the money has to infuriate you. Since you were doing it primarily for your kids' benefit, taking that money and putting it into a trust makes a helluva lot more sense than handing it over for your W and OM to pi$$ away. There, ranted a bit for you!
Good luck man. That bit about the party sounds really petty. For myself, I would have disinvited anyone who put that condition on a party I was throwing. C'mon. Actually "broke up" with a friend over that. Was friends with a couple. She put conditions on you can't be friends with both of us, he's still my best friend.
Do right by your kids. You're no longer under any obligation to do right by your W and OM (though that doesn't sound like it's going to well. Hooray for you!).
Finally, and actual thought, she most likely wouldn't be acting some of the way she's acting if she didn't feel at least a little confusion about what's going on. Be firm, but don't be an a$$.
Going back a few pages, if you lead and be gentle, I'll Lindy Hop with you. We both might need to knock back a few first though
