The short version ... I got served.

We sat down to talk. We chit chatted then she says ... "I've been thinking about it, and it's long over due. I want to file for divorce. I have the papers with me."

I told her I disagreed. I thought she was making a mistake that she is going to regret later. "That's your opinion." I asked if there OM was still around ... "no." I asked why are you filing ... "this has been over for a long time. I have nothing left to give." I told her I understand but I'm not going to help her. I won't sign the papers. I got up to leave. We're walking out ...

Then this guy comes around the corner and she says "he's going to serve you now." I had composure until then. She's standing there the whole time just watching. She leaves.

Then I lost it. As she's leaving I ran up to MY truck to ask what happens next. And I KNOW, I should have just let it go. We talk about how things get divided. She doesn't want anything other than what she already has. Wants to be done. Asks if I want anything. She left.

I got served.

Now what? I'm resisting the urge to call, beg, plead, text ... anything. I STILL don't get how we got to this point. It was like she was talking to a stranger. I KNOW there is nothing I can do to change her mind. This sucks.

I don't even know what to do ... or ask for ...
