Are you guys who have advised standing my ground and staying in the house really sure about this?
Yes, it's not to save your marriage or make your W happy, the point is that moving is a huge inconvenience and the WAS should have to bear that, not the LBS. Your life has been turned upside down as it is, do you really want to make it worse by leaving your familiar home too? Plus when kids are involved they see the family house as "home", it's their anchor and comfort at a time their life is also in upheaval. Regardless of the reasons, the kids always view the person that leaves that home as the "guilty" party. That should be the WAS.

She seems like she believes that I am not thinking about the needs of my son as well and it looks like this is actually going to push her even faster towards wanting a divorce.
WAS's LOOOOOOOVE to "blame" their choices and decisions on the LBS. "I'm only pursuing D because you pushed me into it by doing XYZ." It's all part of the script. Quit worrying. Leave her to live her life while you work on YOU.
