I'm not going to comment on what you should or shouldn't do about your personal cirumstances, but an appointment with a solicitor specialising in family law could be money well spent and may be a lot saved in the long run.
Good luck0 -
Why shouldn't she get anything from the house if you divorce? Are you really afraid of ending up with nothing or just not want her to get anything at all because you can't stand her? If it is your household income paying for the house then she's entitled and rightly so.0

get divorced mate. i know so many people trying to live with someone they don't love/get on with. it only leads to more agony. kids pick up on more than you think, they will know there is something wrong. it wont be easy but you don't sound happy, do you really want to carry on like that?0

DON'T BUY THE HOUSE.
Sort yourself out first. As a kid of parents who screamed at each other when they were together I was much happier when they were separated. Other people I know parents didn't fight but due to their actions towards each other i.e. not speaking, they were also much happier when their parents split.
Also one thing you have to do once you are split up is remain civilised about the other party in front of the child or in their earshot. This is to stop your child playing you against your ex-partner.
Also if your wife does sign asserts away it will cost you more in solicitors fees when she decides to fight it later if you get divorced. No solicitor would honestly advise someone married to richer to sign away their claim.I'm not cynical I'm realistic

if i were you i'd have gone barmy by now. it must be so difficult for you. it is true what the op's are saying. i stuck around for two years "for the sake of my ds" and the fact that i didnt want people to say i had failed again (already had dd with ex-partner). two years of sheer hell and it made me ill in the end. the relief when i left was like a breath of fresh air.
i have never looked back..
if you cant trust your own wife you obviously have huge issues. seek legal help.

dI'm not a "SINGLE" mum, I'm a "DOUBLE" mum!:D0
