Thank you M&H - I know I need legal advice and I have made some steps towards this today - he has used the most expensive solicitor's practice in our City - which means he trying to send the message to me that he means business.
The main motivation for him (he e-mailed me) is financial and wanting to get on with his life. I think he is still uncomfy with it as he has 'encouraged' me to divorce him on the grounds of his adultery and he has also veiled threats of washing our dirty linen in public. I suppose my simple position is that if he wants a divorce he can divorce me (on the grounds of my unreasonable behaviour)and I'll do what I have to do to protect my 2 children from the fallout - emotional and fiscal.
This whole thing is a real marathon of endurance isn't it? I'm still continuing to detach and will take time to respond thoughtfully and with dignity.
here's hoping for a great day for everyone
