TGF - I really appreciate you posting here. It is so hard to try and figure out why and how the thinking is like it is.

My h told me last night that he is filing for a d. He is still at home, and no one knows. He wants to file immediately because I told him that I didn't believe in divorce and I wouldn't file. If he files now, it starts the clock ticking and we can be done in two years.

He is so hurt and depressed. It is painful to watch him. He says he knows that his life will be more miserable once he leaves. He knows that he will lose friends, family and be very lonely. If he knows this, why is he doing it? He says it isn't me - although we have both been honest in the MC about our problems - that it is mostly him. He is despondent and feels like he has been gutted. Is this how you were feeling?

Thanks again for taking these questions - I really appreciate it.
