I just want to make it better. . .

[seekpeaceofmind]

Today I had an atty consult b/c I wanted to figure out my options while in this limbo state. I would like to sell our house and move closer to work and just generally wanted to know what to expect. I explained that I hope to work things out and don't want to D and don't want to file anything. She had her routine intake process and was just kind of following that process - get a financial overview and then talk about how the divisions of assets might work out. The whole tone of the thing kind of put me off. Then, after I said something about not filing, she said that "sitting around waiting for the other shoe to drop isn't a very grown up thing to do." I was astounded. Not only that someone I had just met and talked to for only about 15-20 min would talk to me like that, but also at the insulting judgement implied. Here I am thinking that my commitment is one of the most mature things I've ever done and this stranger is accusing me of being childish. But, I wonder if any D atty would be more supportive. They see a lot of the worst of people. . . . But, this is also one of the reasons why people get so cutthroat in D.
