This morning's mail had a slip addressed to my W, asking her to please call the police and pick up (at the station) an official notification that I had filed for D, as she told me to do, about a month ago (we had a 'fix it or end it, which will it be?' discussion then; I proposed to see a counselor with her, but she said our marriage wasn't fixable. After 3+ years of no physical contact, I want to either fix it or end it).

A week earlier the court had sent her a letter presumably saying the same thing, but she didn't open it, throwing it off the table when I gave it to her. Now she won't talk to me, says she wants nothing to do with me, and we still have six months left before the D is final.

What do you do with such a wife? We have two kids and I would like the D to be a very quiet business, if indeed it must come to this.

We have dinner guests tonight - at least we are not working on any dishes together!

Now that I took her at her word and filed, she rejects the idea... I'll not call it off though, maybe the cold light of impending D will clarify her mind?
