I read some of the success stories on this site and got a new dose of hope. I was feeling terrible over the weekend and I know next weekend will be even worse. I won't see my son until the 4th of July weekend and it's tearing me up inside.
I have 2 choices:
Sign the separation paperwork and be done with it or negotiate a post nuptial that will give her what she wants but also hold her accountable for the things she says she's "willing to consider". Since we are forced to live apart due to the jobs situation, I am adamant that we spend time together on my visiting weekends and I am adamant that we will not survive this without continued counseling. She had indicated that she is "willing to consider" me staying with them on my weekends. I'm going to hold her to that in writing. So ffar it feels like she has just told me what I wanted to hear to get me to agree to things and then once I've agreed or once she gets what she wants, the game gets changed. I've got to break that cycle and the only way I know to do it is in some form of an agreement.
I hate the lawyering aspect of all of this. We are husband and wife. I've already agreed to what she's asked. All she wants is the paperwork done so she can move that much closer to a divorce.
