"Makes me wonder if I should just sign the papers and be "done" as a tactic to win her back. As long as the papers are fair to me what's the harm? She's going to do this anyway, right? I'm either going to lose her or I'm not. I can't change her mind. Only she can do that."
I did not read the thread but if the "papers" are agreeable and you feel comfortable with them.. there is nothing wrong about signing them. My personal thought is that there should always be some kind of document in place once you are living truly separate. Fight once you get to the divorce papers. If you fight here on this it will most likely add to the tension. And if you really look at it.. the papers are a smart thing to do. It protects both of you. Most states this also sets the timer running for the term you must live separate.
Relax Eat Think Act normal React.. Smartly. Do something different. Emulate. Do Work.
