If things are starting to look promising over the winter or maybe even Spring, I've been working out a plan and finances to go BIG TIME on a trip for the kids that will be nearly impossible for her to resist ( somewhere she's always wanted to go). If the trip happens the way I've envisioned it and things are really going well, I plan on romancing the hell out of her and popping " the question" in a way that should literaly be irresistable to her. Of course if she says yes ( every body part crossed ) then an IMMEDIATE DIVORCE from OM is required !!!
