But it's how I really feel and I want to maintain my integrity throughout this sitch as best as I can. At the moment, I feel great.

You are under no obligation at all to file for the divorce only your wife wants. Sure, she would love for you to do it for her, because then she won't have to feel guilty about it, and that way you become culpable for it. She might even creatively "remember" in the future that you were the one who filed - so the whole thing becomes your fault. And she is the innocent party.

Personally, I am not going to fight my wife's divorce, but I sure as he11 would not file it for her.
