W filed for divorce the first week of January, but has done little paperwork since. We are still living in the same house together, in separate rooms. W has a drinking problem which she is still struggling with. I talking her out of costly mediation a month ago, and my lawyer and I prepared a detailed settlement offer which we sent to her lawyer. After over three weeks, I finally heard back that her lawyer was agreeing that we didn't need to go to mediation.
I'm having a hard time tonight. It's my first night alone in the house. W took my two kids to the other side of the country for spring break. They will be gone for a week. Coming home to the empty house tonight was harder than I thought. I was missing some bills and receipts, and I searched the guest room for them. I haven't done any spying on W in months; She must have packed in a hurry, has dropped her guard, or just doesn't care anymore. She left a room key envelope out for the local Ritz Carlton.
There have been several weekend nights that she claimed she was sleeping at a friends house, and then a few trips out of town to visit "relatives". I have been certain that she was lying, but it is somehow different to be confronted with more actual evidence. The room key is dated with one of the weekends in question, and includes a man's name on it. The man is one of her friends from facebook from her home town (where she is now visiting with our kids in tow).
So, my question: does this change anything? Do I need to just ignore this? Do I need to confront her about it? Can I use it as a way to get her out of the house sooner?
Part of me is through with her, but I admit tonight this is really getting to me. Just when I'm finally ready to move on!
