I don't think it was a bluff and she might hold off until she has a clear path in place. I think that the fact that I was holding on so tight intensified her desire to get away. Had I understood this early on ( June '09 ), things may have been different. I recently read a book called Love Must Be Tough (similar idea to DR) and it talked about how WAS feels trapped because of the reactions of the panic-stricken (me). The author talks about the need to "open the cage door" and I guess I have done this by signing the papers. I really had little choice. Maybe my sudden lack of resistance will change the dynamics. She did make comment recently about being "afraid to leave the nest."
