Mine actually said she was filing and that she was sure that I could find a nice place not far away. I think she was shocked, like yours, when I told her I wanted to keep the house. I guess in a way, I said it in hopes she would stay, but it didn't work. With the help of her mother, she found a nice condo and had enough room for our 2 youngest. I, on the other hand, kept the house and have my oldest with me 24/7 plus 3 dogs and 2 cats, all of which were purchased by the ex. In our decree, I also get my youngest 50 percent of the time.
There is no making sense of what they do or think and there is no way of knowing how long they will be in the fog. Just remember that this is a marathon and not a sprint. Just because they move out or sign D papers, doesn't mean that it is the end.
