MLCer and EA w/ OW

[BklynMom]

I too like the idea of bird nesting. But the Mlc never goes for that - it requires too much grown up behavior and actuAl co-parenting

They also have so much anger for the lbs that sharing the house and apartment even temporarily is too much for them to bear.

Since she didn't reject the bird nesting maybe suggest again when she gets back from her trip. Also hopefully you know more about work then and if you are hired full time that opens up another door but if your still in limbo the apartment sounds like a fair compromise.

Since you are the primary care giver I would consultant a lawyer regarding the 50/50 split- if you end up doing more of the care giving but calling it 50/50 it puts you at a disadvantage financially. I guess since your not legally married it might not matter but with any MLC they are always looking to make their lives easier and though she claims she wants 50/50 custody I predict it will work out that you do 75% of the parenting.
Hang in there and enjoy your kids
