Bo, My W says the exact same thing, she is staying because she "isn't going to abandon the kids". I never said abandon anybody, sort out living arrangements and we will split time 50/50 with them. Not sure how having two houses is abandoning the children but anyways.
Ovr, Really life is going great. I am back to spending a lot more time on my hobbies (restoring a Triumph TR6, RC helicopters, fishing and salt water aquariums). I am getting to the gym at least a couple times a week. Going out with friends for dinner or drinks at least once a week. Work is going really well and have a few business trips coming up that should be fun. One of my favorite new activities is going for dinner by my self. I generally sit up at the bar and just talk to people. I have met lots of interesting people and some have kind of become friends, both men and women. Its so interesting to me learning little bits of complete strangers stories.
Ultimately I still very much do not want D but for my own mental health I certainly am leaning more towards pushing ahead with S.
