I'm coping ok. I can fake it when I'm not.

There is nothing to stop your H from filing. I did not like that feeling of always wanting to know when a sheriff was going to knock at my door and hand me papers.

I took back control when I filed.

Just because your H suggested it doesn't mean it's right for you. Go get a job and get your own insurance. You are going to need both no matter what happens to the M.

A legal S is half in and half out. Sounds too much like limbo to me. It's different for each of us. I needed for my spouse to take a crap or get off the pot. You can only live in limbo land for so long and my tolerance was only 4 weeks!!! Some do it for years. No way for me.

It's not the % that is important about WAS' regretting their decision. It's more important when they regret it. If they regretted it soon enough we wouldn't be in this sitch. I think most regret it far too late and too much water has passed under the bridge.

Plan early and plan often for the 1 Dec date. Any job is better than no job.

I wish you all the luck in the world!
