As a DB strategy...what you are doing is changing things. Your W is definitely thinking. This could be very promising for your M. And I also understand not liking the person she is now...but obviously at some point you loved the person she was and can be.
As a new R...I worry for your chances of success. I understand not wanting to be alone...but this just seems really fast, especially with the kids involved, still living with your W, and not really moving along with the D process.
Trust me, the D process will lead you through another period of loss/grieving. It's a whole other roller coaster that you are going to have to deal with. Just be careful not to drag NH or her kids into it.
