Going to do the whole friend and be there for her thing because I want to and it's the right thing to do, but, really, if she's a person who can walk away from this without giving it 100% committment or effort to see if it could be saved, I'm better off without her. Because that's not the person I thought I had married.
Good point, Heim. There's still time for her to change her mind though. I feel the same way as you though in this regard. I'm not sure if my W would admit what your W admitted, but I'm sure she realizes she gave up prematurely too. Good luck with mediation. Be strong, friendly, thoughtful, etc, and above all take your time thinking things through with regard to what W says she wants. Make sure you don't just give give give if it isn't reasonable. If you have a disagreement, be cool, calm, and collected about how you address it. And just like in boxing: protect yourself at all times! .
