Update:

So she calls me today FURIOUS that I have not responded to the divorce complaint. I mean FURIOUS.

I let the first call go to voicemail. I picked up the second, and she lays into me about my "terrible legal advice". Apparently, I am trying to make this process "as expensive and hard as possible on her".

"Your actions speak so much louder than your words, and it's PATHETIC".

I then said, "Is that all? I gotta go, I'm busy somewhere. See ya". Then I hung up.

She calls BACK and leaves a voicemail. Again lays into me about "How it's so sad that I am desperately clinging onto her". "I just want to be FREE OF YOU".

I checked the phone records, and apparently she cried to her mom for 20 minutes, and her lawyer for another 15.

What she doesn't get is that I plan to respond this week, at the end of the 30 days.

She is just so overboard that she is FLIPPING out that I haven't responded, NOR have I PUBLICLY put my lawyer on retainer and had them file a notice of representation with the court.

Did she think I was going to tip my hand right off the bat?

I have heard or seen her write "I WANT TO BE FREE OF HIM" quite a few times now.

Why is it she THINKS I am DESPERATELY clinging onto her? I mean I don't pursue her, and I just don't talk to her. Why is it in HER MIND if I don't do EXACTLY what SHE WANTS, that I am "clinging" onto her.

Any advice on how to 180 this?
