Stop being afraid of what she'll do or won't do. She is divorcing you. Take that head on. If you want any shot at saving your M, stop being afraid of her and do what works.

First of all - listen to Robx (unless he tells you to go on a date - haha!).

Second - doing what FEELS right in this case will actually BE wrong. The measures you will have to take at this time are counter-intuitive, but effective.

Third - you write that your W is a wonderful woman. And I believe she is. But she is divorcing you and divorce is not nice or wonderful. If you continue to operate in the nice world, she will - not MAY - WILL run all over you. She's already trying to call the shots. Really - she's going to tell you when you can and cannot live in YOUR home?

Push back and claim your manhood. You won't believe this but ... she wants you to do that.

"W, I know that you want a D. I don't. You need to know that I will do everything I can to protect myself and my family while you pursue this."

Interview attorneys for yourself. She has. You would be CRAZY not to.

Is she having an A?
