My wife is leaving me..

[MrBond]

In your case forget about LL. You only apply that when you're in better footing. I don't think your W stealing your stuff counts as better footing.

LR means that you agree to our wife's demand that you D. Then you just drop the subject. It doesn't mean that you agree to D, it just means that you understand her reasons and her WANTING TO D.

You let her do the work, but you check your side so that you're protected.
