I agree, do not take the paperwork to H "just to get it over with". Please don't do this....
I toyed with the thought hundreds of times....I did not.
It was only when H had me served a 2nd time and forced my hand, to have to answer his served complaint against me, that I took it upon myself to counterclaim him....In my court: H is the Plaintiff and I am the Defendant. This is H's divorce.
Let yours (if it comes to that) be H's too!!
IMO...Christmas is still a ways off....Refrain from pressuring H about your family wanting to see him again and early invites to H to spend it with you and the family. Let's see what unfolds in the next 45 days. To me it would give H ideas of your expectations and right now that would be pursuing.
I'm thinking of you every day, (((Hugs)))
