The lawyer says that the separation should be signed on Monday. I think after learning the reason for the D wasn't something significant and W is just pouting I've decided that I'm not going to worry too much about the harm the D will cause her. I'll reconcile in a moment and offer everything I have to do so, but ...

I guess I feel that I can't fix her problem here. As far as I can tell I would need to be hurt badly by the filing. I'm actually healthier, happier, wealthier, and more content. I'm told now that she expected me to come begging. She expected my business to fail. She expected all the mutual friends to side with her and attack me. She expected my cancer to make me so sick without her. She expected me not to be able to handle meds or finances. She thought she was going to get all that done before Thanksgiving. I guess I was supposed to have crow instead of turkey.

I thank everyone here for helping me beat those expectations.
