I'm not sure how to address this other then telling her it will be ok and she will figure it out. I will always be there for our son to help out.
Reading other posts, i'm not 100% sure I should mail in the Petition. I guess me mailig it in doesn't finalize anything but it's almost as if I'm requesting the D now.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this. Previous posts suggested that I start the process????
Ask her for coffee. Tell her you need to discuss something with her. Over coffee "W, I am going to send in the petition for D. I don't want to divorce you but I also do not want to live the way we have lived and are living now. However, before I take this step, I must know - do you have any idea, any hope, that we could build a new marriage going forward?"
Listen to what she says. If it is anything short of "Yes, I have doubts and would like try talk about how to try going forward", you send those papers and move on with your life.
In this way, you give you one final open door to walk gracefully through. If she doesn't see that/take that opp, then you have your answer. But the big BUT here is - if she doesn't walk through the door - YOU MUST FILE! Otherwise, well...you know what....you're a chump. And you are NOT a chump.
