Mark,

I was just trolling for your thread and was going to write something very similar to what JM just posted.

You are fighting her tooth and nail. Drop the rope. I can tell you from first hand experience that when I went through the D mediation with my W, she almost immediately became more relaxed around me. You also have to accept that your marriage is OVER. I know, that's tough to swallow. You are working on rebuilding a new R, and hopefully continued M, with your W. What you had is done. If it was strong enough, you wouldn't be here now.

As JM says, show her the strong man she married. Don't show her bitterness and anger.

Finally, what's a D? It's a piece of paper. Same with a M license. It's paper. Focus on the R between the two of you and making interactions with you pleasant. Stop focusing on "marriage" and "divorce". You're driving yourself nuts and your W away.
