She is still messaging- 3 times after saying she wouldn't- I am not OK being in a position competing for affection- but I don't want to push her away.
Can you expand on this? It sounds like you ARE OK with it? Like you said, you have 'caught her' several times, but there is no consequence other than your feelings being hurt. It doesnt sound like you have any intention of actually going through with separating/selling the house. So why should she stop?

Boundaries are about YOU not her. It is about what you will accept in your life. What will you do to protect yourself and your emotional wellbeing? To me, it sounds like you are willing to let her do as she wants in hopes that you can 'nice' your way back in to your heart. She is openly flirting with another man and all you are doing is asking her to stop over and over and over again.
Im not saying you need to do something now. My point is that you need to read and learn and grow stronger so that when you DO start taking actions, you are coming from a place of strength.
