Matt says a lot on here though, "this changes nothing". I try to take that attitude when things feel like they're not going my way. W stops using my name in emails - this changes nothing. W takes three days to respond as opposed to one - this changes nothing.
You W contact an L - this changes nothing.
I agree with Cali, she may need to take this as far as she can before she sees the light.
Stay strong, keep praying, and keep being a great parent.
PP
I'd love to take credit for this, but I learned everything I know from the wise posters before me.
In any case, PP is right. The way I see it, there's the legal battle going on, but that doesn't really matter compared to the actual push and pull between your W and you. That stuff is going to go on, but separated/divorced/whatever - those are just societal labels on the "status" of your relationship. Do you really feel MARRIED right now? So what difference does your tax filing status make?
What's IMPORTANT is the relationship and interaction between you and your W. It seems like you may be starting to make tiny baby steps forward. THATS WHAT MATTERS. The rest is just noise.
