"Why did I marry into this crazy family and why oh why am I standing for this marriage!!! Especially when it is completely clear he fully intends to get this divorce!!! ARRRRRGGGGG!!!!"

"Just don't know what to think. I am so worried about this impending D. I try to take things one day at a time but it is so ovewhelming. I just don't understand why he is so dead set for D. Like he can't wait to get rid of me. : ("

"I think it is very odd how the "happier" I am (or if I am the woman only a fool would leave) the more miserable and angry H seems to be. If I am down and upset, he acts like he doesn't have a care in the world."

I know I need to "thought stop" but in my defense I am still relatively new at this.

Just wanted to say that the above could have come out of my mouth.
I SO know what you are feeling.

It helps me to know that I am not alone in feeling this way, and I hope it helps you to know that too.

Not sure if I should keep on being happy/acting 'as if' and doing the lovingly distancing thing given that it seems to produce a negative reaction from my H.
But really, other than pursuing, what is the alternative?

I'm thinking of you,
NLW.
