A couple of questions for you. Or for anyone reading this.
1. Did your husband ever explain his "position" on the marriage etc, to your daughters? All 3 of my sons are mystified at their Dad's actions. I think this is creating a potentially harmful effect for them. Our boys are 18,20 and 22. From their perspective they were raised in a loving, caring home with parents who loved each other. They cannot wrap their arms around this......for that matter neither can I.
2. Did the two of you ever try a weekend retreat or something like the 2 day intensive with Michele Weiner-Davis? I am considering this as my stipulation if/when my H comes to be with his proposal for the division of our assets. I realize if he is still in the thick of his MLC, this won't likely be the best time for a one on one with Michele. However, from what I have read on this website about it, it is not uncommon for couples to do this when they are starting divorce proceedings. It would be me saying to H, "I will consider mediation if you agree to a 2 day intensive with Michele in Boulder." Just something I have been giving some thought.
