MLC? Confused what to do (Part 2)

[SteveLW]

Oh and one last point:

I went back to my room and next thing I know, I am getting a knock on the door and the W is there. She comes in and first starts talking about a dissolution and her thinking is that the house would be too much for her to take care of and the three kids need to stay there. She mentioned just letting me have the children and house. If I am ok with her keeping her part time job during the dissolution. I told her I have no say what she does on keeping the job, etc as that is her decision.

This was my WW's plan as well. It was her way of easing her conscience. "I want you to keep the house and xxxx live there. I could still have a key and come help out. We could even have family dinner nights!"

My response? "No. We will agree to 50/50 custody. We will split everything down the middle, sell the house and split hte equity, everything." She got insistent that that wasn't what she wanted. I then looked her point-blank in the face and said: "It isn't fair that you get to move on and start a new life, but I don't get to do the same." That ended all talk of anything but a typical divorce.
