Thanks Zew. I would agree that time is my friend - although where I reside I have 5 months before my D is final unless my W stops it. I would not expect her folks to tell her to reconcile. My W respects her folks very much and I would just think that they could encourage her to keep an open mind about trying to R/save the marriage - their encouragement alone may actually help her do this. I sure can't tell her anything. I don't want to come across as pursuing her ...she would just dig her heals in and say you don't get it - it's over.
