Thanks Edz and Gan. Edz, I also wasn't sure about the this isn't what I want/filing part. I guess I wanted to make it clear that I wouldn't be filing. I didn't want him to presume that I would. But equally, I don't want it to seem that I'm giving him the green light to file. Or that I'm standing in the way & trying to hold on.

I wonder if it's best to leave in the validation and house sale parts. Then for the divorce part - I understand what you're saying, and presume you'll be in touch to move things forward..

Gan, it isn't really from the heart if I'm honest. My previous 'last ditch' email where I loved him and said this isn't what I want was from the bottom of my heart. I guess this one is a bit more of a strategic response. Is that the right approach? IDK...
