Late in the Game-thread 6, maybe last in separated

[cw68]

I don't know if I can stretch this that long all by myself. But I have to admit I was thinking today that I shouldn't file. As much as I do think it's the best chance I have at saving this thing, it would behoove my kids and (financially) me to stick it out as long as possible. But then if H doesn't choose to work on our marriage, I'm just full of empty threats.

One of my sisters thinks that I should milk this as long as possible, and not in a selfish way. She thinks that I should try to negotiate with my H in a non-divorce manner to try to get him to stick it out until I'm through with schooling. The only problem with that is then we'll be in the 10 year mark and my H isn't stupid. But she was thinking that we could go back to sharing the house with just a smaller apartment and I could go to school.

Do I even think about dragging this out or do I need to break free?

arrrrgghh
