"w says that if I don't leave , she will take the kids and leave. "
Talk to your L about this. She can't make you do anything you don't want to.
"She then says that I would not be acting like a man because I would be displacing the kids by not moving out."
When she says stuff like this, tell her that you are sorry that she's unhappy, but again she is the one unhappy not you or the kids. And that she will not be threatening you or using your children as a bargaining chip any longer. Then have her talk to your L.

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