The next morning I texted to see if she was okay. It started several messages back and forth about various things. W's L had mentioned the C we had seen the previous summer, so I asked W if she wanted me to see him.

There had been an agenda item on the schedule when I met with the Ls the previous week that we didn't know how to address: 'What safeguards will be put in to place to ensure everyone feels safe?' and W's L mentioned the C, so I asked if W wanted me to see C.

W wrote that C had moved far away, but that W had talked with C and C said I could change. I wrote back that I can and I have.

I wrote about reading the Dalai Lama's work and scheduling the meetings with the IC to work through my issues.

W replied back "You are making so many efforts. What do you think about staying separated for a period of time and then decide about negotiating divorce?"

I couldn't believe it.
