Thanks man. Honestly, I think what bugs me the most is that she didn't ever want to get marriage counseling. She never brought it up. She just went straight to the divorce conversation. She says she's felt this way for months, but obviously that's news to me since she's never talked about it. She's very logical and rational, so course of events has just caught me off guard. She's started an affair with her boss, so the only way I can rationalize it is that she wants to just get out of the marriage so she can give things a go with him. That's the only thing that makes sense to me. So far, she knows she's the one fucking me over, so she's very willing to split everything fairly and evenly. We'll see if that changes.
Honestly, I have no interest in keeping her in a marriage she is unhappy with. Although I'm going through a lot of waves right now, I'm very much looking forward.
Thanks. Thus far there's been no hostilities, but anything can change. She is currently clear that she can keep the house if she pays me half the current equity. I'm all for protecting myself, but I don't want to make it intentionally hostile. No kids by the way. Seven years married and no kids thank God. I will read the 10 stupidest mistakes. And I think I will make a point to file first.
I don't understand. Can you rephrase "to sell to value the equity"?
I have been planning to come to a (legal) agreement that I can take half the equity. She agrees (verbally) with the situation so far. I figure, I'd be better off instead of having to sell the house and pay all the fees required, and splitting the leftover money.
I should also clarify, I don't want the house. It's great, but I need to move. I need to leave this city and start over somewhere in my career field (D.C. area).
No kids and she's already preoccupied with another man.. This sounds like an easy dissolution. No need for actual divorce proceedings. If this dude dumps her it's gonna get bumpy though.
I hope it goes smoothly. She doesn't seem out to screw me, especially considering I haven't been a bad husband in any way. Also, she's never been a leech on my life and finances. If this goes sideways I will be surprised. As surprised as I was to hear my wife wanted a divorce i guess. Fml.

I have suspected for a minute. No evidence, but intuition. Been lurking here since then.

Our seven year mark is next month. I know I'll come out stronger in the end.
