Thanks for the response Sandi.

I considered staying together for the sake of the kids in the hopes that the A would fizzle - but I just can't do that.

I'll do what I legally can to keep the home and make her leave, risking that the kids will blame me for that. Even if they prefer to spend most of their nights with W, they will still have their familiar bedrooms waiting, and I will have accomplished two goals: 1. kept my self respect and 2. dashed W's lunatic fantasy.

Believe it or not, if you look at the A like a drug addiction, the tough love says I respect the person I married too. I am not trying to punish her.

I'll take it back to my thread now: Need Insight V
