Gosh Orchid,

If I were going thru what you are going thru right now, I would be in pieces. You are doing great, in spite of the confusion you must be experiencing. My sitch is pretty f*&ked up right now, so take my advice for what it's worth...

A few counseling sessions ago, I was talking about something that my H wanted (I forget what), and how I would respond. The therapist stopped me in mid-sentence, and said, "But what do YOU want? Don't think about responding to what HE wants, just think about what YOU want in this situation."

So, your H wants a divorce, for a variety of reasons. You are confused and an emotional wreck about what to do. Maybe you should take a time out, and forget about what HE wants, and think about what YOU want.

Just my 2 cents.
