Yeah SIC, I understand your concerns about taking the initiative with physical separation.
The children make especially difficult. They want you there every day and for things to be normal. The one thing that I will say about this is that if you and W D or S in 6 months, 12 months or when ever, they ARE going to have to be subjected to this. And it will NOT be your fault. It is your W's fault.
I'd advise you to go talk to a lawyer about the consequences of you being the one to move out of the home. I'm an attorney, and I don't think that there will be any. But I also don't practice law in Canada.
Things sound VERY toxic in your home SIC. Even if you aren't fighting or arguing, and are maintaining all of your responsibilities. Children pick up on the smallest things, and you and your W's M is not a loving one... not right now. Not at all.
I am not advising you to 'walk away'. I'm advising you to give your W what she is asking for. Divorce? No. To be away from you? Yes.
Your W doesn't think that you are listening to her. And you aren't.
