Thanks Gunny... it's confusing. W seems so set on her path that by June we will be separated or divorced. Going to talk to a L soon to see my options, just so I'm informed. At the same time she shows great confusion too.

I'm more and more convinced that we'll have to at least separate before or if we can ever recon. Maybe I'm wrong on that, I'm hoping I am.

Unfortunately because of the kids and the blended family it would make no sense for me to stay and make my W, SS, SD, and S move. The hardest part right now in my head is figuring out how to get my S to understand, should it come to pass, that I didn't leave him or move out on him by choice.

And it's really only that last part that gets me... I'm doing ok with the rest... being apart, being alone, even a few less days a week with the kids (we both want 50/50 if it comes to that with shared time as well)... it's just trying to get the five-year old to grasp that daddy didn't walk out him that gets me in the heart every time.
