OK so yesterday was a bad day for me. I’m hurting and tired of the process, but I will still stand.
I’m sure that having a meeting with my W on Wednesday is why I am so stressed out. I have all of these things running through my head as to what she wants to talk about. She said a very generic things and the “agreement”. The agreement was the legal separation document that we had written up by the mediator. About a week before she left I said I would not sign it in the way it was written because it left a lot of ambiguity in almost every section. She agreed and we have not spoken of it since.
I guess my biggest fear is that she’s going to take this and say, I want a divorce. I know there is nothing I can do about what she wants, but it is NOT what I want. My real questions here are how do I handle it if she says that she want a divorce and will not take NO for an answer. We live in a state that there is no wait time for a divorce. A legal separation is the same as a divorce except you cannot marry while you are separated and to then obtain a divorce you are required to do the paperwork again.
I have borrowed (ok stole) a few thoughts from reading other peoples sitch and modified them to help me convey to my W if she takes the conversation to discuss her wanting a divorce. 1. I understand you must do what you feel is best, I must also do what I feel is best and at this time I do not feel a divorce is what I want 2. I will not stand in your way, nor will I assist you in your plan for the divorce; I will obtain a lawyer to assist in protecting me 3. I will consider the things you have said, your concerns and your demand for a divorce. I will think about it, but as of right now I do not willing to agree to one
Thoughts??
