Ohhh and what REALLY scared him was once when I was ASKING for the D, because I was fed up waiting for him, and calmly told him, " We are friends, we have kids, I want you to be happy. I want me to be happy too, lets do it in a civilised way" -Apil 08.
He refused to proceed and told me he never wanted a divorce. He was shocked that day. He knew I meant it and that I would be fine without him. It took him another 6 months before he told me he wanted to "try" and after I had just come back from a trip to NY.
