Mza8, just getting caught up on your latest posts. I really don't have much advice on what to do about the house that's your decision. What I can offer is my perspective and that is:
You said you were stalling a bit, she is going to view this as you controlling the sitation. No one likes to be controlled. As robx said, if you want to stay in the house then let your W know how you feel.
For me, I am currently in the house but I am not spending any money(my money) on renovations until I know were my R is going.
I started to look at other houses so I could move if things don't work out. I want a fresh start to do things right no matter the outcome.- A fresh start for me be a single dad or a fresh start with my W. Of course if W decides to stay we would discuss moving.
Also my W moved out in November. We filed jointly on our taxes. I could have said I deserve more b/c I paid more for the house. I could have gotten and extra grand or two but decided to split the return 50/50.
A small price to pay.
Keep us posted on the house. gr8
