Blue, as hard as it is, you need to accept the papers from him with dignity. Begging and pleading puts you at a position of weakness and it is unattractive to him. No amount of logic or reaxon will work. It only cements his desire to leave.
Amen, mc. Amen.
Painful? So much. Hurtful? So much? Heartwrenching to be 'replaced'? Beyond words.
But blue, you have to pick yourself up and take charge. Accept the papers. Absolutely NO more relationship talk, no talk of anything. Hire an atty to read the papers and secure yourself financially. YOU deserve so much more. Right now, your H isn't in a place to give you more. In fact, your behaviors (begging/pleading) is pushing him away even more. He might come back down the way, but not in this way. You are sealing his deal by the way you are acting.
Make a goal to accept the papers and hire an atty this week. Its not 'final' just because someone is reading them for you.
Head held high, take the papers. Do not give them back again. You can (if you so desire) tell your atty to stall, but ONLY your atty. No more stalling from you.
