Hi Christa, sorry I haven't been around in a few days. My Fibro has been awful! Anyway, sorry to hear the news about H filing. That's the pits to say the least. I was hoping he would drag his feet about that like he seem to everything else.
Well, I'm not good at "poking" like I tried to tell you and Forrest. That was never my part that I played (sorry, don't know how else to state it). If I try to think of something I am too over the top....lol. I did do the chit-chat and was hoping that Forrest would help out on the male end of things b/c I don't know where to go now that H has filed. I would feel doubtful that he would agree to show up at any friends for a cookout, now. I just don't know what to tell you unless you can wait out the storm and give him time to get his anger worked out. You are so busy with your school, work, etc., that maybe that would keep you busy while he is working on his "issues".
I wished I could be more help as far as giving ideas of how to "poke him"....but I just don't have any. FG said AmyC did not poke enough....or something like that, but I would have been just like her. I would not have "chased" after my H a bit more than she did hers. Maybe he calls it "poking" but I call it chasing and I thought the man was the one that like to be the one to pursue.
Anyway, Forrest, what to do now that H has filed?
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
