I think you missed my point regarding me staying in the house. I do want to stay, but don't want her to know that. I also want her to believe I can't afford to buy her out if there is no financial support from her afterwards. Otherwise, she isn't nearly as likely to continue paying me on a monthly basis. At this point, it's all about coming out of the divorce the best I can.
I think I am reading things right in that I believe all she wants now is to get away, live her care free life with OM and have fun. In order to do that, she might agree to my financial requests. She will walk away with decent money as her half of the equity in the home and she makes good money, so she should be more than happy that way.
I think I am going to completely ignore her birthday. What is she going to do with a card I give her? Put it on the bed and read it while OM is....
I guess you can tell by my last few posts that my anger is coming back. I think that's a good thing right now.
