DMB, I don't plan on leaving the house. I've decided it's time I tell the kids what's going on. I will tell them what their mother has been doing and she refuses to work on our marriage which includes ending her affair. I will then tell DS15 he's old enough to decide who he wants to live with and then let her deal with them. I can't imagine he won't say to her that "you're having the affair and you want dad to leave the house?"
If she still refuses to leave the house, then if I have to, I'll go see a lawyer and force the issue.
She's trying to get the power back in the arrangement. I think she thinks that I won't go anywhere (which I'm not) and I won't do anything and let the status quo as is. She thinks that I'll back down. I really didn't want it to get to this, but if she thinks she's got the upper hand, well, wrong.
