It's a no=fault divorce state. OP or whatever cannot be factored in. I am just telling him I'll go along with it to buy me some time. Meanwhile he's been spending 95% of his time at home and being angry way less often since we talked about this.

I'm still going to hardball it with my lawyer and if I don't accept it, I can blame it on my lawyer smile

The other idea is that - he claims this is to protect both of us financially - in case of divorce, so I'm going to look at other options like a post-nup, etc.

He claims his lawyer told him not to go to therapy until legal separation claims are filed so that it doesn't look like reconisiliation. I am also going to debate this with my lawyer.

I may call his bluff and tell him let's get a D after talking to my L. Then I'll say that is what I was recommended to do and he can't blame me - like he always does.

But I'm staying calm - always.

Meanwhile, I'm looking at myself and being the best wife I can be. He'll see what he's missing.


Me: 42
Him: 43
