I also have some questions that I will need help with.

The home we lived in, she is living there with the plan to allow it to Foreclose and then move when she has the money. Should we sell it, or should I leave that to her? (Her father gave her this idea), she has not paid the mortgage for 2 months now.

The electric is in my name, I do not live there, do I turn it off?

The car insurance is in my name, do I do anything about that?

Someone told me I should file the separation papers as that would not only 180 my predictable behavior, but also "slap" her in the face - a wake up call. Sounds good, but I feel that is a backfire waiting to happen. I presume that if she wants to do so then it should be her move.

Lastly, how do I talk to her when that time comes. What kind of answers do I reply. It has been suggested that I should avoid discussing us or fixing anything, and I should give the impression that I am finished.

I am not asking these questions for "answers", but more for guidance. I do not want to make mistakes, especially the anxiety prone decisions and reactions based on my emotions.
