Yes, you have a point there. I suppose the correct thing to do is file and walk the walk, since all my other actions have not helped.
An interesting possibility is her moving out. She herself mentioned this, but thought I could not take care of the house as well as she could. You could tell it hurt her to have to let go of the house. This would have the advantage of the kids having at least it as a stable point, in a nice situation, and near the high school they want to go to.
My W would have to agree to no longer be here, of course, so that another woman could come in.
Maybe I need to bore more in this direction.
My D doesn't want to visit my parents in Boston over fall break without my W coming with us also, but my W has booked herself a class she is teaching just then, I imagine deliberately, so that she cannot accompany us. I frankly prefer it that way, will have more fun with the kids. Now I just need to convince my D that it will be fun - she and W are just walking to the library together.
Maybe this will be another subject to fight about... I need to book flights soon to get a reasonable price.
Thanks again,
Luke
