My response may not be popular but it's what I see. IMHO she is doing what she needs to do to keep the family on track. Seems to be her focus. And to be friends with you. I mean honestly, what goes on between the 2 of you could safely go on between 2 friends.
Your conversation with her leaves me with a feeling that she's playing a little dumb so the discussion will die there. But she's been doing that for a while.
Good for you for putting the MC expectation out there. So it's safe to say she did not go to IC, yes?
IMHO, again, I feel her children are very important to her and that's her main focus through all of this and has always been. I mean if living with you was so awful before why didn't she leave? (sorry for being so blunt here, but this all hits sore spots with me). Keep your children living with a man you fear? That's never made sense to me in all honesty.
I'm deleting more and more so that means time to shut my mouth.
It's MC or bust at this point. Unless she wakes up very soon and decides to treat you like a husband and not a room mate.
