I have to agree. I sympathize with you, I know this is a tough decision to make. But the sympathy card with him is just another way he can control the situation. Sure he wants you to file, sure he wants the divorce, but on his terms.
Why give him what he wants? If you want this too, and it seems inevitable to me, then tell him to sign off on the waiver or you will have him served. Period.
Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
