OK, as I mentioned. I am working on saving our house. My W wants to do a short sale or let it continue going through foreclosure. I was currently able to stop the foreclosure process and I am working on getting things current with the lender all on my own!
It’s interesting that W wanted to try everything to save the house and now that we are separated and she has her own apartment on a 9 month lease she doesn’t want to save the house.

Here’s the problem. I need a place to live, I love our house, I have a nice backyard for my big dog, the kids love the house. It’s the house they grew up in. To be honest, W moved out because she thought we were losing the house and now that I am saving it, I think she wants the back even though she’s saying it might be good to let it go into foreclosure.

My W sent me an email saying she has a call into a counselor for an appointment for both of us. Not to work on the marriage but to discuss finances. I don’t think I want to go!!! I would rather just try and talk it out with W but that might not be a good idea. We have never dealt with a mediator, that could be an option? I am concerned that if I don’t go to the counseling appointment with W that things could escalate and she might consider getting a layer and I don’t want to go down that route if possible.

I feel I am doing a great 180 here but also possibly opening a can of worms BUT I CANT JUST SIT BACK AND DO EVERYTHING THAT W WANTS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE HER HAPPY, THAT NEVER WORKED ANYWAY.

Any thoughts would be very helpful!!!!!!!!!!
