I didn't argue with her feelings until the end. I followed the script. I told her I respected her feelings, that I understood that they were hers and that I couldn't change them. Told I was sorry she felt that way. And told her that I did not agree. I did it until she told me that she was going to a lawyer to find out the next steps.
I lost my way. It wasn't for that long, you can not argue with "Oh, well, this is how I feel and I am not changing my mind"
I was deflated early. Once she broght up the lawyers, I was curious on what she looking for. We spent the next couple of hours talking about that. To be honest, I didn't know what to say.
I did tell her that I was not sure if I could even do this though. That it would be real hard for me to sign anything while not being there. She seemed to understand. Which was weird as seeing how impatient she came off in the beginning.
Puppy,
The comment about sitting down with my son, I understand. I have ran through that already in my mind for both of my kids. I told the wife the same thing. That I wanted to be able to tell our kids that we tried. I am not going to be able to do that. Being willing to do anything, and actually doing it are two different things.
My parents are still married, and I thought that I would be someone who did everything in his power to make a marriage work. This was before kids. After kids, that feeling just cured. I never took into account that both people have to want it. On the other side of the coin, my wife's mother divorced, stepfather, multiple divorces. Dad, mutliple divorces, stepmother, on her fourth. It's just a terrible trend, and I know she is taking the easy way out.
I think that I am going to see if I can get a quote on some PI work done. I just want to know. It might not help anything, but it will at least give me an explaination other than I'm just done.
As far a finding a lawyer, I am doing it.
