Observations

1. The house is entirely a proxy for the LW's affection and attention.

2. Isabella is pregnant with her first baby. She is probably really missing her mum and her dad is wrapped up in a new relationship. That has got to really sting.

3. First pregnancy is also a period when everything feels uncertain and Isabella clearly wants to nail things down. It's also a time when you have limited emotional bandwidth for anything other than the baby.

(2 and 3 are based on my experience, other people may feel different.)

4. Both LW and Isabella are communicate by issuing ultimatums. That's not going to resolve the situation.

I think if LW doesn't put some serious effort into restoring his relationship with Isabella, it is going to break down irretrievably.
