It's another day. I knew it was coming. I thanked the courier that delivered the papers, and read through them.
Called another lawyer, waiting to hear back.
I will still fight for the marriage, but now in a very different way. I am prepared mentally. It's a marathon, not a sprint, right?
My wife is well off the reservation. Her fantasy is about to come crashing down around her.
I will be cool, calm, collected. Strong and confident. My kids will see me every day- I'm not leaving. I will be the best father they have ever seen. If the wife wants the D, she'll have to put up with me every day, or leave. It's just that simple. I will no longer be a doormat. No more begging or pleading - I did that months ago, and like DR, and a few other books say, it flat out doesn't work, and helps to drive the WW away.
In my weakness He is perfect.
These are good words. Be strong. DON'T LEAVE THE MARITAL HOME. Too many people are too quick to do that and they don't realize until it's too late that doing that can really screw you legally. It's abandonment of the family and the courts frown on it and it can kill you in a custody hearing. Be a model father, model citizen, and do not leave that marital home for any reason.
