Update 2: I did not receive a call from W advising that she wanted to go ahead and file papers. Whew! I was bothered by the fact that she cries when asked about the divorce. Perhaps she is not as resolute as I thought. I haven't initiated contact with her in about 2 weeks. We did have the following text msg exchange this morning:

Me: What runs around a cow pasture but never moves?
W: Oh Dear..... (that was an inside joke between us)
Me: a fence. Ha!
W: I love it! I'll step dad that one.
Me: What does the ocean say to the boat?
W: What?
Me: Nothing, it just waves.
W: Lol!
Me: And finally. What does a house wear?
W: No clue.
Me: A dress!
W: Ur killing me!

(end of text msgs)

My rationale was to make her laugh. We always tried to tell the corniest jokes to each other. Also, if I want to reconcile with W, I figured that I would have to be more like the guy I was when we married. I know that she expected me to be angry and upset about the potential divorce. That is precisely why I am not acting that way. If we were to argue about it, I believe that it would justify her decision to get a divorce. I may not text her now for 2 or 3 weeks. I guess I am trying to be unpredictable, make her wonder about me. Will this work, who knows? I have already tried everything else, what do i have to lose? Thoughts and / or comments?
