Heartbroken,
Thank you so much for posting to me. You sitch sounds very close to mine. I've asked him to wait a few months 4-6 and he just replies with "I don't know". I've told him that a couple of times, and now I just need to let him ponder it. The paper work is ready to go at anytime, so there is something that is holding him back from filing.

I'm struggling with what to do about living arrangements. I really miss having my kids with me. And I'm not so sure that getting my own apartment is the right thing to do. This morning I had a new idea about that and wanted to see how you guys felt. Instead of spending the money to sustain 2 households. I'm thinking of suggesting to my H about spliting the house weekly. On my weekends with the kids I would stay there from Friday until the next Friday. He would still see the kids his 2 nights that week. Then on his weekends, he stays there from Friday until the next Friday and I see the kids 2 days during that week. When it's my week at the house, he could stay with his mom. And when it's his week at the house I'll stay with my friend. I'm thinking this would be good for the kids and a lot less stress on both of us. Please let me know what you think.
