Think its Over, Hes going to Walk Away

[TrentC]

Ok, so just had "the talk". "the talk" was him giving me a packet to file divorce, and a info packet on a "do it yourself" divorce through the mail. He just handed it to me.

Walk-away spouses can go file for themselves. I'd hand him that packet back at the earliest opportunity.

He did a ton of blaming. He explained how I "played" him by not working after we married/college. I actually had to agree, i went into a funk after my dads job disappeared. He said it was all downhill from there. I felt a huge sense of relief however, right now i feel relieved.

Of course he did. He is in the middle of rewriting history. All you should be doing is validating: "I can understand why you feel that way". If you don't disagree with him, he can't fight with you.

If he tries to get you to agree to any kind of decision, say "I'll have to think about it and get back to you." Do not budge on this; you have a right to consider your decisions carefully.

We hugged, and kissed gently, and then he had to work.

Why are you being physically affectionate with someone who has just read you the riot act, blamed you for all of the problems in the marriage, and handed you a freaking divorce packet?

That needs to stop, effective immediately. Have some respect for yourself.
