Yeah, stupid me took it as a slight positive and it gave me hope, but I think truly it was him just trying to soften the blow. The book is a book his therapist recommended to him. It's some big famous Divorce Recovery book (like the bible of divorces apparently). Anyway, when he told me he wanted to file soon (a month ago) I got upset and was asking if we could just have some time (it's quick in Colorado, only 90 days to be done). I mentioned that I felt he would be much less likely to stop it once the ball got rolling. Then he threw that stat out to me from the book.

I'm honestly so jealous of the states that have a much longer waiting time, or mandatory separation first, or some even require couseling. Colorado sucks. It's 90 days, and because we have kids we'll have to go to one like 2 hours co parenting class together. That's it. Nice. Love the reverence for marriage. No wonder there is a 50% divorce rate.

Well, still no papers yet ,but I know they are coming. And I hate feeling like a sitting duck. Yesterday a truck came down our road, with some county symbol on the side of it. There are only 5 houses on my road (country road) and he parked down it and sat for like 10 minutes then left again. The whole time I was in my house holding my breath, thinking I was getting served. I hate just waiting. And H has assured me he'll tell me when it's coming out of respect, but I honestly just don't know what I can trust with him anymore. I hate this.
