Sandi my wife stated she is afraid to get divorced to our daughter. Does this mean anything to you? Does she seem to think I am going to be waiting around for her while she has her own fun and we suffer? Or is this a normal type statement?
Here on the board, WW's are notorious for holding out on filing for a D. I think the main reason is her H is her backup plan. Your W may already see that she will not have it as good, financially, if she D's you. She may already see that OM isn't going to work hard and provide the way you have. I do believe some WW's actually think their H's are going to wait around for them. It's crazy.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
