Well I got the Divorce Papers today. W kept asking what I think about it. I told her I am not signing anything, I don't like it. I said I don't like the fact that you aren't giving me anytime. So we argued a little about it. I then told W that I am hiring my own attorney to look things over. This all took place at the office while she was trying to see patients.
I then asked her if we can just go to dinner and talk. We talked about the papers again but never came to an agreement. She then brought up how my family is cutting her off. I told her what they told me even today and that was they said they love her like a D. They took her into their home and have known her since she was 17. But they do not agree with the way you are handling things now. She then preceded to tell me her D attorney on 2 occasions said that she cares for her as a person and is not looking to make an easy buck and that she recommends MC. Her friends are also telling her she might want to try MC. W still states she is totally against and the feelings are gone. That she can't forgive me for taking her for granted.
After talking for about an hour over dinner we left, I told her I have a response to her Divorce Papers. In the same envelope I put in the Eulogy that she read when my Grandfather passed away 2 years ago. Other blood relatives wanted to do the reading and my Grandmother insisted that my wife write and read the Eulogy for the day and my W did. It was just a little reminder that even though she goes around and says she doesn't have a family, my family looks at her as equal to all the blood relatives. She teared up and kept thanking me for giving that to her.
I told her I don't expect a commitment I just want the gift of time.
