SadHub, That is really bizarre behavior from your W about the L. My WW did pretty much the same thing, once I confronted her EA she felt like a caged bird trying to escape. She got $6K from her mother for the legal retainer and then frantically looked for apartments around where we live. It's an expensive area and she wasn't able to qualify due to her low income, so she was writing these pleas to the landlords about being in a divorce, etc. Turned out she put the cart before the horse, because she ended up paying 3X$1,300 a month of dead rent because her L told her she can't move out until she has the separation agreement done. I was trying to get her to move out and gave her $5K to move but then we were stuck for 3 months while working out the SA. It was a situation that was bad for all sides, even though initially I didn't want her to move out but I realized it was more damaging to have her around flailing about being "controlled." The only benefit was my son got 3 extra months of somewhat "normal" childhood before ending in his current life of a 50% nomad.
