The good news is, I know that it will take him months (if at all) to file the paperwork...he's not very proactive, if I'm being honest. The bad news is, he's not filing them because he doesn't want to divorce, he won't be filing them because it's inconvenient.
I think going as dark as possible is the best way to delay or stop the divorce. I agree that you should not send that response. It will not accomplish what you are intending and is more pursuing, begging and pleading.
Just remember that sometimes doing NOTHING is really doing something.
