Mila,

You ARE selling the house? Yikes! Oh, major ((( hugs ))).

A word of advice, take it if you wish, or not, but do NOT list the house without seeing a L. It's a marital asset, mixed in with a family business, during a separation (and you are technically legally separated since he moved out). If your WH does not come back, it is your financial future and your daughters that is up for grabs (versus his starting a new life with OW)... please be careful.

I have a question for you, I've been thinking about your sitch. If WH and OW were to stay together, how would they be supported? OW's husband is not going to give her much if she leaves, and doesn't have her kids with her. I thought you said somewhere that she quit work a few years ago as a CEO or something. Is she going back to work? Is she going to start a new business with WH? Is your WH going to support her off of your family business, the one YOU are working on?

Some of this doesn't make sense. I think you have an opportunity here. I think you are very in competition with OW for your H, she knows it, but because of the emotional time you are going through it is hard to see. If you independently had a thriving business, and he had nothing, he would need you. That opens the door to you and WH being partners again. If she was supporting them he would need her. If he had YOUR business, he would waffle in the middle (like he is). Does any of this make sense? Can you go dark and take over the business and make it succeed, and stay in your house, or is the skill set too split between you and H?
