Some people do take the stance to block divorce. I have read scripture that if one wants out of a marriage, not to stop the individual. If my W wants a divorce, I will not stop her. I would ask her if that is what she really wants but will not look for ways to delay her. I will continue "standing" even if she D me with the expectation that she will make it through her MLC. My R with my W over 21 years gives me the belief that she will make it through but I have no guarantees.
