Yes, that song is often in my head too, especially these lines:

"Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight"


I also find myself humming often "A Good Year for the Roses". I like both the GJ and EC versions.

My W will try to keep the house but I believe she will have great difficulty.

I personally would like to wait until (a) we agree to the terms of our divorce; and (b) I have a new place set up to move into. This is something yet to be fully discussed with my wife.

In my mind, I think it would be good to tell them on a Saturday, then go over and see the new home, and have them get a little excited (hopefully) about setting up their new rooms, and maybe take them shopping and/or have them work on settling in.

What I don't want is for them to get the news about having their world split in half, but then have no tangible idea of what that looks like. If it was all just theoretical, I think they'd just be confused and worried.

My half-baked thoughts at this point....
