Thank you MB. I do greatly appreciate that. I've been soul searching exactly that issue - am I doing this to spite her? To show her a lesson? Or because I truly want to be with my kids.
I have no intention of trying to be friends beyond the marriage. That's too much pain for me right now to even contemplate.
That's the thing: the mc keeps telling us we're a very different case than anything she's ever seen. Mostly because she says we love each other very much. Go figure.
Just the same, the situation is what it is. I'll have another conversation with the MC tomorrow. I'll be bringing some of this up with her and see where it goes.
I'm guessing I am just about at the point that I have to face the reality of it and consider getting a lawyer. Before I do that however, I think it is only right to hear WAS proposal (if she'll do one; we haven't been able to talk about it) about the separation she's after.
It saddens me. It really does. But I cannot do anything for it except listen to her. I am not able to change her mind. She may not be able to either.
Take care, AJ
