W and I have our first session with a new MC today. I am prepared for the worst and I will hope for the best. The pieces I have put together seem to indicate she will be asking for the big D today, but maybe she is open to trying, or maybe she is just going out of guilt and to say that we tried but it didn't work.
The pieces are: 1-she doesn't want to make couples or family dates like she asked for when separation was being discussed.
2-she told me that she had a lawyer appointment, but canceled a few weeks ago.
3-she said that her IC told her that we shouldn't be seeing each other very much right now. This is a IC/MC so if he isn't pushing for the marriage, it's probably because she has told him that she want's a divorce
My plan is to go in with the best attitude I can have, act "as if", not say anything attacking, stick to our feelings, not bring up any speculations or assumptions regarding OM/EA/PA. I won't be in "fixing mode" like I have been. I won't beg or plead. I won't bring up things that she feels are me trying to guilt her. I won't try to show her she owes me anything. I will let the MC run the show and I will answer everything, as long as it does not conflict with the above game plan.
wish me luck!
