I received a text from w yesterday asking me to please go to the bank and accept the papers from her via notary. It's been a months since she's filed, and she's telling me she's given me enough time ... she wants to move forward.
The timing of her requests stinks ... just before Easter ... and in my sentimentality, I can't help but have strong emotions in the irony of the timing: we got engaged on Easter 15 years ago ... I'd sent her on an Easter egg hunt, and the ring was in the last egg she found. She's always remembered that day ... except now, it means nothing.
I know in my state there's a 60 day waiting period before a D can be final after papers have been served. I'm trying to delay receiving them as much as I can and delay this whole thing. But I feel like there's a rapidly ticking time bomb on me. I haven't had a chance to ask her for a legal separation yet ... not sure she will go for it. Any suggestions on delay tactics? I'm trying to hang on ...
