The other thing that's on my mind this morning is the whole 'unreasonable behaviour' thing, as H would need to file on these grounds. If he wants to go ahead, presumably one of these things is going to happen:

He'll ask me to file because he doesn't feel he has grounds. And do I agree or not?

He'll ask me if we can 'agree' the grounds. And do I agree or not?

He'll just file, and I'll need to 'deal' with what he has cited in the petition.

There is nothing in the more serious unreasonable behaviour reasons - violence, adultery, drinking, gambling, running up debt, cruelty, witholding sex, money etc...

So, he would need to go for a 'lesser' reason. These include things like not wanting to socialise, not meeting emotional needs, not doing enough around the house, being out too much, working long hours.

I just feel it's all a bit hard to take, given his infidelity. And it's a bit of a hobson's choice. Either I file for D, enable a D by agreeing to 'grounds' or I just get filed, and I worry the grounds used may then haunt me. There aren't any nice options!
