Do you have a garage or a stairwell with room under it? You could just move her things on the property but out of your way. I think you have shown that you mean business by getting the packing started. But renting a storage unit - nah. Let her take care of it. This is HER consequence - not yours. And besides...don't you have plans tonight? Aren't you meeting some guys for beer and wings? Greek

Next time she texts you a sexy pic, don't respond to it. Go dark, Over.
Ask for masking your anger, that can be tough. Just try as best you can to remain calm or walk away if she's starting fights or "Let's talk about this later, we're both pretty upset right now."
She wants to now about New Years Eve Plans - she is volunteering to stay home with kids?
OB to W: "That's ok. I've made plans for me and the kids."
Plans with the kids: midnight bowling. Fireworks on a waterfront. Hotel stay with indoor pool for midnight swimming and all night movies in the room (Three Stooges Marathon is running on cable for the new year - but you daughter probably won't enjoy that.)
Think of something...but GREAT DAD that you are, you want to ring in the new year with your children.
