As for the separation agreement, it [censored] but you do agree to if. Your choice is go deal with it or push the divorce further. You can't force a reconciliation so get that out of your mind.

I understand wanting her to see the consequences of her actions and feeling she can actually lose you but by having a "talk" with her about working on things your showing her and yourself that she isn't loosing you and can continue doing whatever she wants(we have no idea her motives so best not to speculate what that may be).

Pulling back and being less available is good, just don't go so far you start being an ass about small stuff.


I'm not suggesting being an ass. My read on this is that day always seems to be ready when W asks for something. Sometimes it's ok to say ' no'. Make other plans so that you won't be ready when W asks you something. I'm not suggesting he not do the drive just to make her drive. I'm suggesting he have other things to do so that he won't be able to say yes.
