W, also tells me now that since W has to pay her OWN car ins, phone, creditcards etc.. she can no longer pay her portion of the utilities/joint expenses (which were significantly higher than the bills she has to take care of) which gives her a net savings.... (now realizing that life is real, and there are bills that have to be paid to support her particular lifestyle)

The main reason I initially told W to take care of her car,phone, etc.. was because these were her specific bills for things she uses, why should I support her personal expenses...

I point out this fact and W just shrugs and says the she is now having financial issues and needs to make changes..... I remind her that there are other ways to navigate thru D besides L, but W tells me in a cocky voice, "well this has gone past that I, feel I need a L"...

I ask her if she still plans on moving out on 2/1, W replies, "well, considering the financial issues,, it's better that I stay in the house."

I feel the need to tell her that if she as filed for a D and wants out that she should move out... It feels like W has found a new angle to "cake eat"..stay in the home reduce her debt load..

If W was to move out, she would definitely be paying more... Im wondering if that would be an effective way to approach this.. W brought up financial issues several times so I know she is worried/concerned /impacted by them..

Any advice, input, suggestions, please....
