She is divorcing me, why go through this trouble.

Wouldn't no contact be easier for all of us?

It feels as if she is trying to normalize this broken relationship with me. I am not ready for that and may never be. She will say that she tries to "reach out" to me but that I don't respond and shoot her down. And that feels like manipulation.

Bottom line - what am I doing? I was trying to save my marriage/family but the lines are so blurred now.

1). Divorce - play nice for sake of kids and be her friend.

2). Divorce - only talk about kids logistics and be friendly

3). Keep trying to find the balance and try to be the better option.
