Just read over what the DB coach suggested & still get back to the same place.....making it short & sweet. Of course Vernetta has experience & knowledge that I don't, so it's just MHO for what it's worth.
If you've ever given a deposition, they tell you to say as little as possible, don't argue, etc. I think the same could hold true for these type situations. Asking W to read a letter in front of you so you could gauge reactions seems dangerous to me. I can't picture W asking you to explain further.
I might be overly cautious on this, I don't know.

I want to apologize for filing for D in the first place. It was an attempt to regain some control, and not what I actually wanted. However, what I should've done was show empathy and concern for you instead of trying to take that control

I'm sorry for how badly I hurt you in our M. I care so much about you -- enough to let you go if that's what it comes to. However, I don't want to go forward with the D at this time. Are you opposed to the idea of postponing it or going through a legal separation for now?
I don't need or expect an answer right now -- I just want to put the idea on the table
Something not much longer than the above is what I'm thinking. You have time to noodle it around though & think it through more.
