Hi Pink

Sounds like you are making lots of progress, and your posts sound more positive, enev though just a few days have passed. Good for you - feisty Pink is back!

I'm interested to see how things go with a separation agreement. I also talked to L's about this option, which I may still consider. My big worry with it was that it is an 'agreement' and I already know that my H expects a minimal 'settlement' for me - basically just the funds I joined the R with. My L laughed when I told her.

So, my question (to you and myself) is - what if he doesn't 'agree' to the agreement? What happens then? I know you were also concerned that H's ideas of settling the finances didn't favour you and the family. If the proposed agreement is a shock to him, he may not agree to it. My L said that such agreements are great if they can be 'agreed' but if they can't, D is the only way of 'forcing' a settlement of financial matters.

Sorry if I'm sounding pessimistic, I do like the sound of the option. I'm just sharing what I have been thinking about it. Anyway, just some food for thought. I'm so glad to hear you sounding brighter than earlier this week....you can't keep a good woman down for long!
