Carrieg, I am so sorry. After my great bday, I feel guilty that this happened to you. I thought March 19th-ers never had bad birthdays.
I'm with TripleJ, my first thought was that he didn't know that you don't want this D and therefore didn't think too much of giving you the papers. He just thought that D was bad in general, but not that it would destroy you emotionally.
I would definitely do a brief R mention if you think there is any possibility he has blinders on and doesn't see that you want to stay M.
And what's up with "Better as friends" anyway? If my H ever said that, I would for the first time in my life actually strike another person. Isn't that what a good M is all about, best friends AND love?
Sounds like he needs his head screwed on straight, and you have the tool to do it. Good luck.
