Oh, and to add to that last paragraph. When I asked my son about the mess in the apartment, he told me that 'Mom is messy like this all the time now. The apartment is always a mess.' It's pretty sad really...
Nice to see you back MR.
I have read that during the crisis they become the opposite of
what they were. My W used to be early for appointments and
picking the kids up from school or BB practice etc. Now she
runs late more often. I get calls from the coach to come pick
my son up. She also tells me she is running late for office
meetings sometimes. That would not have happened before the
crisis.
At the same time, as an LBS, I have read that the you will become
the opposite of what you were through your journey as well. I
have noticed that to a degree with myself. I am finding I do
things I would not have normally done becoming more of the norm.
As for your W filing, If you do not mention the D word to her and
sit back and watch instead, she may put it off depending on where
her feelings are at. Then when the negative feelings come back or
something is not going well in her life to blame you she then
will follow through.
You are in a good spot if there is such a thing in this mess.
It is a matter of trying to outlast the MLC and you seem to be
doing well with some of that intuition.
About the moon thing, I am not sure myself if that matters but
I have found more than a few times that when W has been nasty
and appearing to go backward that I have walked out side and
saw the moon was full. I am not going to dwell on it though.
It's a good thing we don't have as many moons as Jupiter cause
