I knew there was a chance of this happening. I can't go on like this forever. Talked to DB coach Chuck today. He thinks since things had been going pretty good with GAL, 180's, etc., she may be testing me again. I don't know. It seemed like she was pretty sure of herself.

I know, believe nothing of what you hear and 50% of what you see. Don't know what tonight will bring. I won't get in an argument with her, that does nothing to help. I really tried to validate her feelings last night but, God, what was I supposed to do?

I think it's time to talk to a L. At least to know what to expect if things go that far. It seems like they're headed that way.


Trust me, she is not nearly as sure of herself as she seems. She is trying to show you a strong front, but if you push back, you'll see it isn't very strong. If she gets really angry, that shows how weak her hand truly is. She'll use anger to make herself LOOK stronger. Don't be intimidated. I think what you told her about leaving was dead on.

When they say "Don't believe anything they say and 50% of what they do", don't take that to mean they're completely lying about their intentions to end the marriage. It means their resolve is not nearly as strong as might seem.

Definitely talk to a lawyer. Find out what your options are in your state. Assume they are headed that way. You can always change course as you go, but if you let her dictate the pace, she will not fully feel the consequences of her actions.
