I believe strongly that my W is moving her PA to an EA (based on my comments above). Although I am pushing for divorce mediation because I do not want to share my W with a third party, I do not want to give up hope. My W has seen changes in me and has commented about them. But she still has a lot of hurt bottled up inside. When we connect, I know she feels the true connection that we always have had. But I also know that my pushing for the D will seem to her like I am trying to control the situation (per usual) rather than letting her move on her own timeline. And therefore, she likely will let the D happen even if she knows it is not the best move for our family.
So the DB method would call for (I think): - be patient - give her space - be fun, be the husband only a fool would leave - do everything I can to detach and GAL, which will help with the second bullet (give her space).
Do I keep divorce mediation in my back pocket, or does that convey weakness?
