Thanks AS, but what I can say is no, the timing is not intentional but rather timing itself. I know it looks that way and got counselling on that point as i was worried about the opticsnofnit. There is no good time. The house is getting offers, financials have not been dealt with and most importantly custody agreement is not in place....the kids need a schedule and stability. This needs to be put into play. As I said they have been confirming since Oct to file and a few weeks ago again. We need to have a deal in place before house is sold. Yes, I am angry but this is a move to get things settled. Her intention was clear and pointed directly this is what they are doing for months. It only has made matters worse to drag along. Though I can't help but think her waking up on Father's Day and announcing to me "Today is the day I will stop wearing my ring" was not intentional. Of course I am angry, but angry it came to this and not doing this because I am angry. It is at a point that I need to protect myself which is what I should have done last year and the year before. It is her bitterness and anger that drove this here, and has made me more angry yes, but mostly hurt. W is in self-protection mode and out for all she can. It is disgusting. I have been assured by lawyers, accountant, friends, family and pastor that it has come to this not of my doing and is an ugly but necessary step. Not what I wanted, but W did....not for her b-day no....but that is the timing and yes I did think about that more out of guilt, not spite. D has been against my principles so it has taking me a lot to accept it and swallow it.
