Informally separated from WAW, but DBing my best

[AlwaysTrying]

A friend of mine said the thyroid thing is grasping at straws. Probably right. She said she was tested and came out on the low side of normal.

It would have been nice to have an explanation for her stormy moods. When I married her, I thought she was the crazy one. I wish she could accept that we're both the crazy one now. :-/

I feel like positive strides W and I have made in the last month have been overshadowed by new frictions over taxes, debts, and our separation agreement.

I asked my wife a few times to make an agreement with me that I would move out of the house for a time and she would put the marriage on hold, and she wouldn't have it. Eventually, I just made my own "agreement" with my terms on it, left the house, and asked her if she wanted to continue with it. That worked.

That was probably 6 weeks ago. We hadn't signed the agreement because it got shuttled back and forth between lawyers and there was some tweaking of it by both of us.

Today was the last day this document could be signed in order to avoid a court date tomorrow, and I finally got it done. The agreement says I have at least 3 months before she can put the divorce back on the court's schedule.

I have to find ways to bring my divorce busting to a new level during that time. My goal is to either
A) have her agree to come to counseling on a regular basis while we continue the arrangement and see if we can sort out our stuff
and/or
B) have me allowed to move back home while without pushing her out the door.
