Maybe "Demands" is too harsh. The last "quick" chat went like this:(W) We have to talk about what we are doing. I want the house and the kids ok? (Me)No, I'm not ready for this but I was thinking that I'd stay in the house and keep the kids here during the week for school and it would be joint custody. (W) We're going to have a problem then. That was three weeks ago. I have heard from her family that she is seeking a separation not a divorce. I find that strange. Thanks for the reply, Lost_Dad
Telling her that you are not ready implies that at some point, perhaps with time, you will be. Will you eventually be ready to separate? Or are you philosophically opposed to it? If you are opposed then tell her that, followed by, "And for that reason, while I know I cannot stop you from leaving, I will be staying put in the family home." Greek
