oh and I am getting the reality check that Gucci warned me about.. I am waking up and seeing that she WAS/IS still having the affair.. why else would she NOT attempt to truly work on the marriage? What I saw with my own eyes at the TKD studio cant be rationalized away.. she is lying.

I would wait on the D thing. You are moving FAST. I'm not saying you are doing anything wrong, but you are deploying soon. Things could look very different in a few months. Considder the deployment a gift.
Do what you need to do to get yourself safe. New bank accounts, retain a L, learn the law. But really, a D is going to take a long time. And it really IS your ace in the hole.
My guess it that once she has her freedom, she WILL enjoy it. For a while. One the bills start rolling in, and the car breaks down, and she really start pursuing the OM (very likely) things might not look so rosy. THAT is the time to play the D card if things are not looking your way.

Protect yourself financially, retain an attorney, let her go, and drop the rope, and then wait until your emotions settle down a little unless she presses for divorce.
If she does that, then go ahead and proceed. Don't fight her, but protect yourself, your child, and so on.
You're going to be OK.
