"Dropping the rope" is not signing papers.

It is an internal thing - for you.
It is when the "pain" subsides and you can once again "feel" other emotions or just have a little peace which surpasses understanding.

It is when the "fear" and dread is overcome: of losing her, of the end of a marriage, of the future.

That's dropping the rope.
