Yeah i will tell her i'll email my lawyer and bring it up again, even though my lawyer already said not to do it right now. And if the lawyer again says not to, i'll tell her "I love you and care for you, but this is not something i can do for you right now."
We have no-fault divorce here too. The counselor is all something her lawyer told her she should do.
I don't know. I know her lawyer is older so I'm hoping she recommended someone good that will help her through this and possibly give our marriage a chance. I'm hoping. Although why would a lawyer recommend a pro-marriage counselor.
Hopefully it may bring out some "home" truths about her to her.
They tend to listen to C's rather than their own family and friends.
For some reason, that little certificate hanging up on the wall has more credence.
NS4U, I will have my fingers crossed for Monday. If nothing else, hopefully she may slow the heck down with what she is doing, that would be a great positive for you.

Sounds like you are doing fine. Maybe Andyv and I could meet ya after dinner for drinks. :>) (I wish).
Deflecting the house thing on the lawyer is a great Idea. Nobody really likes lawyers anyway. Oh yea Andyv California is a no fault state also. I figure some law makers likes to fool around so much they made it legal.

And if I claim to be a wise man, well It surely means that I don't know
I hope that we all do catch up for beers some day, with our happy and content wives in the next room.
I wonder if they did bring at fault divorces in Australia, would it make a difference re divorce rate's, reconciliation etc

Well, i had a good time with friends, but drank too much. Probably me trying to mask my hurt with a little liquid courage.
Anyways, this morning my wife was in a pretty foul mood. But it changed about half way through the day when one of her friends stopped by out of the blue.
I took the kids over to a friends house who's wife is out of town and they swam in their kiddie pool for a few hours, and i got to sit and talk with him, which was nice.
Came back to the house in a good mood, and my wife was in a pretty decent mood too. We actually had some lighthearted conversation.
Then my wife got confirmation that she was going to go out with her girlfriends tonight, so about an hour ago she went upstairs to go get ready. I don't know if she is planning on seeing OM or not, i don't think so, and i'm not going to worry about it.
Anyways, she comes downstairs wearing one of her super hot little black dresses. She is smoking hot, and I let her know. She asked if her shoes looked bad, and I said 'bad isn't the word i would use, your smokin hot'. She smiled. It took a lot of constraint not to overdue it on the complements, because she looked really good. This is a really hard part of this situation, I am unbelievably attracted to her, and I can't even touch her anymore.
Anyways, she is off for the night, and i'll be sleeping upstairs to be close to the girls so i'll see her when she comes home and I am forced to make the long walk down to my room at 1-2am.
I don't know if WAWs ever look at us men and get attracted or feel anything when we are looking good. I tried last night to stir up some of those feelings by going shirtless to bed, so when i saw her in the morning i could show off the phsyique (now that i'm back in the gym and have the 6 pack starting again). I didn't get any major reaction, although I didn't really think I would.
I think its harder for us men with WAWs this way, I've heard women and sex are tied strongly to their emotions. Any women's opinions? Any chance she looks at me still and feels some of that?
So last night my wife went out with her friends. Apparently after dinner all the wifes friends husbands showed up as well.
She got home at around 2am, and I was sleeping in our bed since the girls sleep upstairs. She got home and woke me up and told me she was home, implying I should get out of her bed and go downstairs.
It took a second to shake off the sleep and I realized she was in a bad mood. I asked her if anything was wrong, and she said she is just angry she is not getting what she wants.
I didn't respond. Grabbed my glass of water, wished her good night and went downstairs.
This morning i got up with the girls, and my wife came downstairs around 2 hours later in a much nicer mood. She has been chatting, smiling, laughing, and even filling me in on her evening.
I plan on taking the girls to see Shrek III tonight, so i'll just lay low today and see how it goes.
So far 3.5 days with no major R talk. Still working on my goal of 1 week.
