So, I responded about 2 hours later: "Why the stay?" She said, "Dunno. I just think maybe you're right that I should take some time and think things through for awhile."
I know people are going to cringe at my response: "Are you sure you want this or are we just delaying the inevitable?"
Well, she was mad. She told me that I had been gung-ho about it, and when she agreed to it, she now saw that I was blowing smoke, and she should've known better, etc.
So, I waited awhile. She's a hothead, so I know I need to give a few minute window. I said, "I'm sorry if I offended you. Here's my thought process: on Sunday, we hung out, snuggled, watched TV, even kissed. Then you messaged me making sure I knew that you had no feelings, and that you were moving forward with the divorce. Monday morning, we went to get the trial dates scheduled, and get things rolling. I didn't hear a peep from you since then, and then out of the blue, you tell me you want the continuance/stay, and are thinking things over. I apologize that I responded so callously, but sometimes, I'm simply having trouble keeping up. I just wanted to let you know my state of mind."
A looooong agonizing pause, and she responded, "Fine. I'm nervous about it. I don't know if I can do anything different."
I said, "It is hard. Regardless, my attorney already had one ready to file anyway, so you would just need to agree to it. I'll let think about it. Night"
