To sign or not to sign

[CRW]

It takes practice to learn how to be short and to the point. Try to reply with as little words necessary to say what you need to say. As darknes already pointed out, that exchange earlier about a dentist appointment went on WAY longer than necessary. Use this experience as a learning point. You can look back and see how things went off course. And you have some alternative responses that you could have used, prepared for next time. You could always post her message here and ask for suggestions as to if/how to reply.

W You never seem to have an answer for that? What is your purpose, Craig? What is it that you want? What is the push to hold on? I've asked numerous times to draw up something or to talk to me about why we can't come to a conclusion outside of the courts, but you never have an answer. I want to believe the best in you, but you make it extremely difficult.

This one is tricky for me because I personally feel that if she wants to divorce you, she needs to do the work! I likely would have advised to say nothing in response as nothing you say will change anything. Except maybe to validate what she said, but I'm not sure what words would be best for that.

That is the one thing that gives me pause in all this. If she wants the divorce so bad, why isn't she getting the papers ready and throwing them at me? It is only a couple hundred dollars to have them prepared.
