she wants divorce but makes no move

[Dr.mom]

Stand your ground, if it is what you truly want. I have been going through the EXACT same scenario. Separated for 5 months. Husband wants a dissolution, but does nothing about it. Does not even want to talk about the details of splitting everything up.

I WON'T GO THERE. I will NOT validate his decision, or make this easy on him. Lately he has tried to "make me mad" to get me to ask for a divorce. Nope, not biting.

Sometimes I think they want you to do their dirt work for them, to help them make that decision. OR they want to try and part "as friends" and will wait until you are on the same page as they are.

Be patient and keep standing. I know, the frustration is killing you. Take a step back, but KEEP STANDING.

As many on this board said to me "if he wanted out, he's be doing something about it".

The last time my husband reiterated that he was "done" I told him to give me until September. Right now I am going totally dark until then. My rational? I know it is over, and I am done trying to do anything about it ( can we saw GAL and acceptance here?) but damn if I am going to waste the rest of the summer dwelling on attorney appointments.

More time does not hurt me one bit. Maybe he will see things differently in 60 days. Meanwhile, I am going to enjoy the rest of the summer. IF he wants something sooner than that, he is going to have to make the first move.

Hand in there
