You would think you were 'on call' for your wife all weekend and today!??? UGH How dare she play all nicey-nice when she wants what she wants!?
The thing is, like you said, this MIGHT be the best thing for all involved, but its her approach, her very selfish approach, that is rubbing you the wrong way. I can understand why.
And for the record, I would be furious if xH was not consistent with our phone calls between the girls, and we even do what YOU try to do (keep them focused on the phone call).

but I could just as easily find an older, cheaper home outside of this pseudo-urban area. A place a little more reasonable and affordable and not quite so taken up with status and materialism. One where my kids can ride their bikes and have a "normal" neighborhood lifestyle.
This sounds like the best option. I guess Selfish LWB wants my nocode in a great, cozy, wonderful home with his sons!!! But I can see why letting this house go might be the best decision now.

I wish it was in your cards. You deserve it.
Are you going to persue D a little further, or keep letting her do the work?

I concluded that I must have been a dumb sap who fell for her false words all these years, failing to recognize (at least consciously)when she was not really sincere and only trying to manipulate people to get what she wants.
Have to correct you on this one. Your wife has seriously changed. Shifted. Changed her morals and her life plans. This is not who you married and not who you fell in love with. Don't rewrite history like they do, because you loved each other. She didn't manipulate you in the past, because she wasn't that sort of person then.
