Does she have a point

Currently divorcing wife. Need some help

She had a difficult childhood with parents having a really messy divorce. As such I always said it would be up to her to choose what she wanted to take away.
Long story short she had been threatening to leavee for years so I had enough earlier in the year and applied to divorce her. She was tell angry!

Anyway we agreed for sake of 16 and 19 year old DC to be amicable. She decided that we would split 50/50. So this is what we told the kids.

As background I have always earned all or most money and for many years a really good salary
However this all coincided withy business going bust and money tree cut down. She inherited 80k 18 months ago which paid off some of mortgage. She has been speaking to someone and has now changed her mind 3 times! She now wants an extra 80l which will leave me and the kids living in a hoval as it's expensive here.

As an aside I have realised I have been living with decades of emotional abuse from her and she's not the person I thought she was and she's being really unpleasant now.

What should I do.

P. non of my school or uni friends could stand her I wished I had listened to_ them. And most of them were girls?

IS OP a man though? Lesbians can get married and have children.

He certainly sounds rather stereotypically male.

Love the stereotype of the "stayed at home" woman too. Sacrificed her career not just while on leave but for apparently a decade after having children too, not to mention the sacrifice she made to her body, but yes, let's all jump at the finances and retrospectively claim we are putting children first...

As for impartial advice, the clue is in the name.
