I am not sure if she will file for divorce or not. Should I start taking steps to protect myself financially...like opening a separate checking account and having my direct deposits go in there, retain an attorney, or anything else.
Yes, yes and YES. This is normally routine advice I give ANYWAY, but in her current state, absolutely.
Someone above mentioned "script," and it is. But she also seems highly unstable to me right now. I wouldn't put anything past her.
If she threatens to hurt herself, call the cops. Seriously.
