To be frank, your kids are seeing it already. I'm not sure what you think you're trying to shield them from. Your W and you aren't living together. That's already the worst thing that's happening. So right now the kids are shuttling back and forth?
Your W already wants to have two different homes so I don't see how you think it would "reset" your clock. Did you want to move in the first place? If you really didn't want to, then you tell her that you were being accommodating to her and right now it's not working out for you.
Why didn't she want to move to the apt?

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
