So, update for the group. I spoke with my attorney yesterday and asked him to start preparing the paperwork to file for D. While this is still not necessarily the desired outcome, I have accepted that I cannot proceed with the current situation and who my wife has become.

This certainly doesn't mean the end of my relationship with my WW either, as we do have 5 kids together.

This decision on my part is for myself, it has helped me drop the rope and while I think it will get the attention of my wife, realizing that this is actually happening, my intent is not to get a reaction out of her, it is strictly to allow me to focus more on myself and what the future holds. We still have a long ways to go and a lot to work through in terms of assets, kids, and finding stability post D, but I feel that this is the right thing for me at this point in time.

I'll continue to provide updates, because as we have seen with all of our situations, things can change really quickly. I'm not expecting anything to change any time soon, but maybe some of my experience can benefit some of the rest of you when the time comes.

Thanks!
