Can it be extended for another six months if you both agree?

Just trying to understand what you are up against. I believe that time is still on your side. Lots can happen in five months and if you are true to yourself and your changes good things will happen. Whether or not you save your M.


W is the one who filed so she owns the motion. She is the only party that can put a hold on the D or stop it entirely. CA is a no fault state so no burden of proof - irreconcilable differences is all one has to say to file.

I will bring up staying the motion for another 6 months if things continue to progress over next 4 months. Not in any hurry to rush w into making a decision.

Will do. Had IC tonight. Therapist is very impressed with my progress & improved awareness. Says reason I am having heartache past couple days is because I am trying to keep hopes reasonable but with changes w has displayed it is hard to suppress getting hopes up, thus the heartache. Realizes that my changes are for my benefit & my kids as they should be - just doesn't want to have anything hinge on w & her decision.

Thanks for letting me know you are out there keeping an eye on me. Hoping Phoenixdeux will find me again - you both have done a great job in helping to keep me focused.

I keep stopping by your thread as well. I know you are doing to the day to day minutia that doesn't seem all that postworthy - so just post something to say hi & all is well \:D
