I think you just said it yourself..."Either he makes a proper effort or he leaves my life". It is time to tell him just that. It is difficult at best to try to be friends with your H when he is being a arse, let alone when he is living with another woman while you are still married. You can't really be his friend when he is disrespecting you and your marriage.

No I wouldn't file just to see if that "works". File when you are ready to really let go. You have so much to move forward for but probably can't see that because you have a huge picture of H in your face. Only you will know when the time is right and I know it isn't easy but it is the right thing to do.
