I told my W when we first separated that we needed to wait 2 years before we could get a D. Turns out I was wrong but she had no reason to doubt me. Basically, if she knew she could get D sooner, I'm not convinced she wouldn't
Kev, I am sure that your wife would have checked out these facts for herself and not just taken your word for it.! Any woman who felt the need to D would not sit back and take the word of the person she is trying to D.(well not unless your sharing brain cells) So just maybe it isn't actually what she wanted or maybe she has checked and been advised that she actually needs some grounds!
I,m not sure about the card, definately don't go all out, but maybe just bide your time awhile until you get more of a feel for how things are.
