Stress, WAW and life in general II

[AJM]

Quick update:
Didn't really talk to WAS last night. She and the kids went to the beach. She txt'd me in the afternoon to let me know they made it and that they had been enjoying the sun and surf, was I ok? Weird. Why wouldn't I be. I let her know that was cool, that I was headed out with a friend to get dinner and drinks and I'd talk later. I ended up calling and she couldn't get off the phone fast enough. I spoke to the kids - they seem to be having a good time. I'm happy for them.

I woke up today angry. It is not lost on me that one night my WAS was talking about wanting a baby because, "..she feels she has different things to give." and the next she is contemplating telling her own kids that she is leaving just before mother's day.

I'm working through it. I know this is not her rational normal self. It's cold though. Really cold and self-centered.

I'm thinking about it because I have to figure out how to act around the children when she tells them. I don't want them to think this is my idea. But I can't just shoot her in the back either if there would ever be a chance for the marriage.

What to do, what to do?

I also had to give it more thought about the agreement she drafted. She wanted to put the no abandonment clause in there because a lawyer friend suggested it. I told her no lawyers. I'm thinking I'll stick to that in a very firm and rigid way - if she tries to put that in, I'll remind her that there should be no lawyers and that she needs to put some skin in the game.

Thoughts?
