Thanks, Sandi. Yes, I believe my W would interpret not getting the promotion as further evidence that things will not change for us/me. The boss told me today that it would likely be another week or so before he makes a final decision.

Matter of fact is it. Yes, it does make sense. Will do.

Also: W told me last night about filing. I said thanks for telling me, I need some time to think about it and then we can talk. She said that there was nothing to talk about. I said that I would listen to anything she wanted to say but that I wanted to think it through before saying anything more. She seemed very surprised at my reaction. I think she thought I was going to get angry or pursue or try to negotiate. She even came upstairs later to "check on the kids" and asked what I was doing. This morning before work she said that she wants to talk with me tonight (did not say about what). Her L sent me paperwork today for a hearing next month regarding how things will be while the situation. L is asking for her to have the house and kids until the D is final (maybe that's what she wants to talk about).

DBing continues.
