Ready to get the D started. If she were, she would have already, she wouldn't care that you mentioned a lawyer.
Good point. Problem is, there isn't incentive for her to end the marriage. She can see other people and be in the best situation she's likely to be in (financially , etc.) for some time to come.

We both consulted attorneys a year or so ago. We've also been working together on the attorney to handle the dissolution. I'm ramping up with a new attorney this week.

Thats a good point. So are you saying that I need to completely withdraw committment of love and willingness to reconcile in order to do this last stage of DBing completely?

That really concerns me. It was never my intent to think of the agreement as anything long-term or sustainable.
