NED, I'm so sorry. Would you mind to share more - perhaps on a different thread as I don't want to thread-jack? What did your Mom say last year?

Jedi, thanks for the post, interesting video, but of course it's not anything like that around here.

Also thanks for your other advice, I wanted to give her one more chance since she had made some important changes, and because our family together would be great, but you were right, she hasn't changed enough, and more importantly hasn't changed her view on marriage.

Indie summarized it well, she is a renter, and not likely to change. Here are some interesting quotes from today.

Quote
My idea is that I take care of myself, my attitudes, my mental health, my behavior, in ways that honor and respect my partner. My partner would take those same steps. But when relationship determines attitudes, mental health, and behavior so completely as you have proposed, I sense a repeat of our past.

And then you say you have the MB view on marriage, like that's the 'right' way, so I must be wrong.

I think plan B (or as absolutely close as I can get to it) is the only way forward.

I can't describe how HAPPY I have been since having no contact wiyh my ex wife.
Even email or text contact can cause stress.

Im glad I cut her out of my life.

Your kids are old enough so you could go no contact.
