It all started with a staged intervention last weekend at a cookout we were having at the house for family members. The wife, daughter and a group of in-laws cornered me and told me I was being selfish - I was jeopardizing their safety. The nagging and "attitude" had been going on for months prior. I once again explained my position but no amount of evidence or logic offered up was going to change any minds. My entire immediate and extended family has bought the narrative and drank the Kool-Aid utterly and completely. There's no convincing anyone otherwise. Today, the wife informs me that she wants me to move out of the house that I worked my ass off for decades to provide because I don't care enough about her to take the vax. It's a sad day but I'm not wavering. I'm packing my shit and seeking alternate living arrangements. I did inform every one of them not to call me when their health starts to go south in the near future....which was met with rolled eyes and an ambivalent shrug. They all think I've gone bananas.

As a wife, I agree. What's good for the goose is good for the gander -- find a good 'men's divorce lawyer to file', and make sure you obtain your fair share of the equity. Even if she worked as well, you should be entitled to half the home's value, at least..
Pretty much this. Get the best damn divorce attorney you can. Everyone I've ever talked to who got out relatively unscathed did so. It's cheaper in the long run.
Depends on the individual situation. If there is a long history of love and mutual respect a divorce can be done with a 50/50 split without lawyers even when an irreconcilable difference has emerged and the marriage has to be ended.
Happened to me. Big house and lots of stuff. We just sat down one day (after I filed) and did a you pick then I pick for all the stuff. Then split the money and the equity.
I get the feeling this one isn’t going to go down in a mutually beneficial respect each other sorta way, though I pray for Op’s sake it does.
Oh absolutely, but It's still not a bad idea to at least consult with a good lawyer.
That way if things go South, conflict of interest kicks in
Might work with a "normal", level-headed spouse, but virtually guaranteed NOT to work with one that has mental and/or emotional issues that preclude amicable interaction and logical thinking.

Cordell & Cordell if they practice in his state.
