I don't remember if you tried mediation. Is that possible once lawyers get involved?
My W and I went to a first meeting (but no further yet) and found that it reminded us about why the marriage was worth working for. I know you've said that you're GAL, but I noticed you wrong that you still hope that she might change her mind. You've made it pretty clear that is unlikely, but mediation isn't as cat and dog as a lawyer route seemed to be. Of course, she'd have to agree...
I'm guess I'm a real fool for the ideals of DB, that the most unlikely things can happen to turn a M around...so I don't sound like I'm pressuring you to keep beating a dead horse. You seem like a H that deserves a second chance. When I've read Michelle's books and others, I just never got this idea that you give up. I got the idea that you go on.
If she won't give it, maybe she isn't worth it. But if you want it, even if she's disagreed before, maybe taking your lawyer made lists to mediation would work. The nicest thing about it is that you are at a table with her and have a chance to show your 180'd side.
