In desperate need of advice, separation looming!

[PortlandDad]

WoM:
You are in a tough spot, no doubt about it, but now is not time to change the game plan. Your W acknowledged that you are making changes, and that is a good start, but don't flush your whole playbook because the other team recovered a fumble!

You need to learn to validate their feelings. Tell her "I understand how you feel", "I can see why you think", "That makes sense", etc.

Don't give up un what you want, but don't despair either. A divorce will take time no matter what, so you will have time.

What was your response when she said she wanted a divorce?
