Well, I was just reading a financial article in the paper that said most women in divorce make the mistake of trying to keep the family home even if they can't afford it. I was thinking more about the short-term, however - let the upheaval of relocating during any short-term separation be HIS problem, not yours and your son's.

Frankly, I think your H just thought he could continue medicating his depression by talking to her. She sure must be something slimy, eh?

My gut feeling is this, Fizz - you need to start standing up for what YOU deserve. Not in an angry/sad, "why can't you behave" way, but in a calm, rational, detached "I'm a loving and faithful wife and I deserve better from you. If you're not capable of better, then I will move on and find better in my life. If you ARE capable then it would look like this:
marriage counseling
antidepressant therapy
financial counseling
