I don't think I could live with someone that considered me an airhead. Does your W think that's how she is thought of?
Um, no. I was being rhetorical in my response. AmyC used those words in a previous response.
Here, let me put it another way: She is reactionary, not prone to planning things out but to react, then maybe she thinks about what she SHOULD do. She tends to ask others what she should do which is why I would tend to think she is getting 'coached' although lately she has been trying to be more independent.
She certainly wouldn't make any plan to 'record a conversation' with me. She has no lawyer, she has no money for one. And, I'm starting to think that she is looking at 'options' for a place to live but from her words the other day about working on our financial situation, and the fact that she has said nothing about moving, I think she doesn't want to leave yet.
We'll see what she does after we tell D12 on Saturday that we're getting divorced. At that point there is no more reason to sleep together or pretend any more. I won't tell her to move to the guest bedroom but I suspect she will choose to do that on her own.
