Oh, I'm pretty sure I don't want a divorce. I filed because he kept saying he wanted me to, and this way I have more input on the timeline and process, instead of if he filed. Part of me felt like the reason that he was pushing for it so hard is that 3 months ago (when he first started saying he wanted one), he was on the brink of a fantastic new job, in the best shape of his life, etc etc. Like, I feel like he thought he could "trade up", so to speak. I pleaded with him to try MC, individual counseling, anything, but he was really determined to get a divorce.

Now that I know about this illness, I'm less certain of that initial interpretation.
