Again, I swear, it isn't me... On a serious note, take that as the gospel truth. This person is VERY real in her mind. Her feelings for him are also very real.

That visa can be taken care of by her... if she's divorced. So your strategy right now is to drag out the D process for as long as you can.

Then by all means, show her the door and let the REAL world welcome her with open arms and WITHOUT financial support for you. Check out Tridoc's thread and follow the advice he's been getting.

Follow the Coach's advice. Up to now you've been behaving like a wimp. Man up.

Preempt this and show her the door and reality ASAP. Why are you waiting for her to get her ducks in a row? Why are you waiting for her to stash some cash and walk when she is good and ready? Are you nuts? Waiting is enabling her to do as she pleases, when she pleases and if she pleases.

I hear you, but do you hear the advice you've been given? Your W has ZERO RESPECT for you. If you were a woman would YOU want you?
