I'm sorry but as of right now, with H having seen the kids twice a week and doing whatever pleases him (travel, GF etc), the idea of him reducing our kids to living in two tiny places and him taking them half the time is just another punch in the gut. If he wants to and will stick to more time with them, I wont fight it. If I can only get enough money right now to have their lifestyle diminished significantly with both of us (as opposed to having one modest house and he being in an apartment), so be it. But, man does it burn.
There is nothing "fair" about the whims of the walkaway.
And RSF, you know I have great affection and empathy for you.
Regardless, I still think the most stable and healthy set-up for the kids is #1.
