Thanks C-Bart.

I think that really did it. That and she said I was pressuring. I know I was, but there are some dire financial issues to address (with deadlines) and she keeps putting them off.

I spoke with her shortly this morning. She says she's final and is going on with the D. Even the fact that I was asking her she said was more pressure. So, now I can't even discuss anything with her. That's what I've been up against.

Here's a woman with no income, going to nursing school ( = very busy) - has money problems, scheduling problems, etc - and she picks NOW to call it quits.

I just don't get it.

I think now is the time for the LRT. I just need to let it go. I know the attys will start calling me, pushing me towards it. I hate them all, they are good only at ripping families apart. Once that starts up again, there may be no stopping it.

Obviously my W is thinking emotionally, and not reasonably. Any 3rd grader can do the math and see that she's going to be out of money in no time at all. She has no job, and no income other than mine.

I can't control what she does. That's a given.

I think it's time to just let her be. I hate what she's doing to the family, especially the kids. She is so selfish right now she can't see past her nose.
