jcj I did the same thing, I JUST stopped pressuring my xh. I am about 6 and a half months into this. Yes he divorced me, it all happened in about 2 and a half months. Was your H quiet after you pressured him for 6 months or before? Did it take him 18 months to talk to you again? My xh told my son the other day that he was taking a break from me, and he would talk to me when the time was right. That, to me, sounds like he is messed up.
