Okay everyone -- "last stand talk" draft #3 is here. I plan on presenting it on Thursday the 9th (two days from now). Give me more of your feedback and constructive criticism if you have any. Thanks!
"I know that the D is going to be final on the 16th -- a week from today -- and I just want you to know that I'm still not convinced that it's the best solution for us, and that I believe we can be happy again like we've been in the past; that we can start fresh with a clean slate and enjoy life in a way we both want. If there's any part of you that feels the same way, then I'd like for us to postpone the D and continue with the separation the way it is now, or even file for Legal Separation instead for the time being and put no time limit on things. If later down the road you decide that a D is really for the best, then we can always resume it and I will not stand in your way. I want you to know that over the last few months I've come to realize I will be happy, with or without you -- I really will -- I just prefer it to be with you.
I'm not looking for you to give me an answer right now. I just want to put it out there as something to consider and that's all, and if you'd like to sit down sometime and talk about everything then I'd be more than happy to do that."
I'm now going to work on figuring out what I will say if the conversation continues. I'm going to try to determine what paths the conversation could take and be best prepared to reply to anything W may possibly say. Like Heimlich said, "Luck happens when Opportunity meets Preparation."
