Mind you, you don't have to say it through clenched teeth. After all, you are just explaining to her what you have decided for yourself. Every marriage that has gotten to the point yours has ends up reconciled or dissolved in the long run. You are just trying to get rid of the nasty middleman, limbo.
Not a problem. I am oddly calm about the whole mess at the moment. I still can't get over the hump of worrying about the kids. If, under the best circumstances, I get 50-50 custody, that is still 50% of their lives that I will miss out on. That's if it comes to a D. Not giving up. I know that we could do this. Oh, well. Said that a million times already. It will either sink in with her or it won't.
