Kerry-

On my way out for therapy so I can vent with her...lol but wanted to reply first.

In Maryland you have to be seperated for a year first before you can have a divorce granted unless you can prove adultery or cruel and violent acts by the spouse to yourself or children, none of which he can claim. We don't in Maryland however HAVE to file a LEGAL seperation in order to divorce in 12 months as long as we both testify that we lived apart without sex for 12 months.

I believe right now for him it is a financial. I think he may believe that if he files legal seperation he can force me into selling the house. He may believe that, been told he can by frineds, or been told he can by this L he claims to have talked to but he did say he has talked to PEOPLE. Whatever that means. Or I could be way off and it could be due to a desire to date and no longer hide what may or may not be happening with another woman.

All I know is that I have an appt. with a L tomorrow for a FREE initial consult. and I feel better about this now because the LIMBO feeling for the last 3 months of hoping he comes to his senses and comes home is almost changing to relief now. Relief that at least there is some sort of movement by him, not the movement I wanted but at least he isn't filling my head with, "I don't know" and "This is just the way it is now" and the other stuff he would say that made no sense.

I will continue to vent and post here and let everyone know how this consult. goes tomorrow.
