UPDATE 6pm Okay, perhaps somebody can explain this interesting development:
When my wife came to fetch our son from here, she started talking to me about her matches. She's in med school, and matches are hospitals that will be accept her as a resident.
Anyway, she begins explaining how she's applied everywhere, including here in California, but unfortunately she's gotten too many rejections from this state to count. So many of her interviews have been in the East Coast (as some of y'all might've read about from my previous posts). She said she'll find out in mid-March where she'll be going, but she's confident she'll get South Carolina or Tennessee.
So here's where I'm left wondering: Throughout the conversation, she did NOT imply once that she was intending of following through on her initial intent to file for sole custody of our son. It sounded to me that she assumes that I would be going along. She even remembered that my previous employer (from my engineering days) operates out of Charleston, SC, and though she didn't say it outright, it sounded like she was implying that I could find work with them.
...Is she assuming? ...Is she dragging this separation longer and delaying the finalizing of the divorce? I.e. Is she having second thoughts? (That's the optimistic side of me speaking) ...Is she stringing me along so I can be there to help with our son (just as we are right now)?
