Thanks for your response Bworl. Could you please enlighten me as to how you feel as though I am going about this wrong? I don't disagree with your statements, I'm just curious what leads you to that conclusion. At this point there is very little contact between me and W and we are separated. She is still talking to (and probably seeing) OM. We have not officially split finances, we did more of an informal split of finances where she took a little, I took a little and we agreed to leave the big pot alone for now.
