I'm just trying to think, if he felt the same exact way that he does, but never filed. It just dragged on. How would you feel about that, I wonder? Would it keep making you have hope?

I'm asking for my own selfish reasons.
H4H, not Kat, but I did have in my mind that if my H hadn't filed I was going to set some kind of deadline or date and do it myself--I didn't want to wait forever while my H was dating or living with OW or whatever. I know I would have waited probably a year or two, but then I don't think so after that. At a certain point, if your WAS won't give up the OP, obviously you can't wait forever with her keeping you as Plan B or whatever. I have read several times that you will know when it is time; don't know if that is true, but maybe people just finally get too tired of waiting or whatever. I think you should follow the 48 hour rule also; if you feel like filing the paperwork then I'd wait 48 hours to do it and see if you feel the same. It's obviously such a final thing; you would want to be sure. In some ways I guess it was easier for me that my H filed b/c I didn't have to figure that stuff out. Karen
