Thanks everyone for replying. Nice to hear from you, MCWaterdog, I haven't been blessed with you sage advice for quite some time....

Well, I appreciate everyone's advice and I/we are moving in the direction of divorce, I think....I have decided that I will fight to stay in my house. Between W's long work hours and time with OM, she's hardly ever here and I don't think I will have too hard of a time divorcing the thought of her from the physical reality of my home.

I will try to convince W to go for a 65/35 split of the kids (she gets 35). It sounds like a lot, but giving her just one more night a week would make it 50/50. Besides, I have told her that she is welcome to come and visit the kids any time, while I would not have that same luxury while she is living with OM. I will fight for this and I fear I may lose, but my lawyer says that it should be an attainable goal...keep your fingers crossed for me...

W and I have not spoken about the sitch for a few weeks, since our last visit with our MC when she proposed sharing the house. SHe advised me last night that we need to talk soon and I am ready.

She still drops little hints now and again about making long range plans for our house and such....meaning that I think she is trying to finagle some way to stay in the house while divorced. We shall see...

Thanks again for the tips.
