I just don't know what to do. There are times, like when we having our "dates," when she would get close, especially emotionally. And then it seems as when she does start getting close emotionally, she then does a 180 and its right back to almost being the enemy. I am not so sure that the sister isn't really playing up the grass is greener side...to which I want to say its only greener over the septic tank...
I really, really want this marriage to work. To date, she really hasn't given a logical reason for divorce. I - and she has stated this many times - never hit, cheated, did drugs, was abusive, or any of the reasons. She also said - and still says - that I am a great father and that she has no reservations about that. Quite honestly, I see no real reason for divorce.
There is a huge back story concerning her childhood and how she would run at the first sign of trouble. Yes, our marriage had its ups and downs, but nothing so drastic as to end it. As I have said before, I feel that her past issues combined with the incredible stress from work has pushed her to this - and maybe the SIL, too. She even told our counselor of how she would run - in fact, she told him that her original intention was to wait until right before her orders to tell me she wanted divorce.
Should I try to do the Last Resort methods at this point, especially since she has mentioned what she did in our last session?
There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
