Unless she speaks up and gives you a more solid reason to stall the paperwork, I think you should continue with it. To me, it sounds as if she wants you to be the one to say "Let's wait a couple of weeks", and it gets her out of saying anything. (It's really an old game.) If she asks you if you need more time, tell her you have had plenty and unless she can give you a reason she wants to wait....you are ready to go forward.

She is getting closer to that point of "speak now or forever hold your peace" - divorce style. There may be a little part in her that wants to see if you'll make one more plea. Hold your ground!

This caused me to remember what happened with my D and her XH. Hope you don't mind me sharing.

My former SIL thought he was a real lady-charmer. He had been caught with his pants down more than once, but then he got a girl pregnant. When he and my daughter were about to enter the doors of the divorce court, he looks at her and turns on all the sexy charm he could muster and says,
"What are we doing"? I guess he thought she would fall into his arms, crying her eyes out, like she had in the past. Instead, she looks straight into his eyes and confidently says, "I am divorcing your a$$ for cheating on me, that's what I'm doing". That's all she said to him, and then walked into the courtroom. That guy was playing her right up to the end. If he had really wanted to stop the D proceeding b/c he was ready to straighten up and act like a M man, I think he could have said something better than that old bait & hook of, "What are we doing", at the last second.

I don't know your W's intent, but it smells like it has a little bait on it, to me. Just be careful.


It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
