I have an attorney, have had since OW discovery last year.
My L advised me that if I want to stay put, that's my choice. That I can choose to do nothing at all.
After two years, GUBU will have to prove we've lived "separate and apart" before he can divorce me. So it's actually 18 months from now that he can finalize it.
If it were in six months, I'd be way on top of it, trust me! I decided that I was going to give myself until my birthday 2/15, to start making some hard decisions. That will be one year since I was served.
This year has been devoted to healing, looking around at my options, making connections, soul-searching, working on myself, looking for employment, and deciding what I want to do. ----------------------------------------------------
However, I see your point. This can look like resistance to GUBU and cause him to push harder.
So---I can make it appear as though I'm willing to move this along.
I can fake it. I can call my lawyer. I can give him a list of my "demands".
Call his bluff--if it is a bluff.
In any case, I sense that this "talk" is designed to get ME to put all MY cards on the table, while he plays his close to the vest.
That ain't happening, that's for sure!
Thanks again, kml, it's sound advice and I will keep it in my brain with the rest of the script!
