Good question twinmom,

Yes, W earns more than me. She's reduced her hours but could still afford to live in 'our house.' Circumstances fell that she landed a good job whilst I was staying at home minding our two young kids. I work as much as possible, varying between 15-30 hours/week).

Post BD she wanted me to leave. My parents live 6 doors away (maybe 40 metres?) from our house. I figured it was leaving only in name and would be temp. I figured the kids would be at home and I could see them every day. I thought we'd work things out.

I was in shock. I wasn't thinking straight.

I begged and pleaded and cried...and begged some more. I sent texts, wrote letters, bought concert tickets. You name it, I did it. I threatened A exposure to work. I threatened to contact OM. I was a mess. I didn't know about DB/DR then.

Essentially I pushed her out the door with my behaviour post BD. Running in tandem with my own lack of clear headedness, W was acting crazy. She made vehement threats, was violent towards me, waved a snooker at me, threatened to call the police, claimed she had made secret recordings of me shouting at her etc.

All in all she sort solace at her mum's place. Once gone I sleept at home alone on and off. It was lonely. To save on bills and have company I moved into parents' house. My current wage means I couldn't afford to live at home. W obviously doesn't want to live near my parents. She also claims to hate our town. I'd imagine conducting an affair on the doorstep would be hard too.

For myself, another job is the way to go. At the moment, being at my parents, I will keep on with the work I have due to the flexibility of it and because I don't need to earn too much right now. Eagle eyes are also counting pennies to see how much I earn so I can pay out child maintenance.

What a holy mess!
