Hang in there 2old, I know it's tough but we're in this together brother My W hired a lawyer to draw up the papers a month ago, 3 weeks ago she asked for info, I provided it the same day and haven't heard a peep about it since. What does it mean? Has she changed her mind, or is she just busy, or is she confused about it? Should I ask her, or should I say nothing, or should I drop some hints about it? The questions don't matter. All that matters is that I keep living my life and let her live hers, and that's what I'm doing. And that's what you must do too. Perhaps it'll help you if you just assume the worst and prepare for that. That's what I've done several times in my sitch, then when the worst does happen you're like "oh, that" because you've already long-ago accepted it as an eventuality. Maybe that doesn't work for everyone but it has worked for me.
