She's beating the "You are keeping our son out of his home" drum now, conveniently forgetting that she is the one that took him from here so she did not have to sleep alone. She also claims that she is still trying to get into therapy, but 4 months is long time to be "trying".
As to the legal issues: In my state, a petition for divorce that is not contested within 31 days of service is considered uncontested and granted on the grounds of the initial petition. It can always be backed out of, but if it gets that far I doubt she will have the guts/decency. My hope was that she would file on "irreconcilable differences", so I could file a counter-motion on adultery and still claim that I did not want a divorce. Unfortunately, she seems wholly convinced that this is something that is just happening to her, not something that her actions have helped bring about.
The book that we all hold so dear can, and is, wrong in certain situations. Also, in any life event, it is important to know just when to break the rules. I have spend the last 2.5 hours working out, so I'm a bit shaky and not in my right mind, but I just know there is an answer somewhere.
Just another bit of venting: During the Friday call, I pointed out (in my honest opinion) how poorly she has treated me throughout our relationship. She asked why, then, would I still want to go forward with her. I said for my son's sake, but I just wish that that were true.
Why the hell do I have it so bad for this girl? Why can't I just shake her off the way she shook me off so long ago?
