Thanks for the reply, Job. Dragging this out will impact my kids (S11, S18) negatively, as would a D, obviously. Does it make any sense to just push for the D through so she can begin her redo in earnest? There's no screaming or yelling at the moment (we really never did that), but I don't want our cordial exchanges to potentially deteriorate in front of the kids. We are essentially separated, but see each other most days because she runs her business out of our house. I know I need some space to heal, too.
