Her response to my agreeing with her about D,,, it was more of a knee jerk response, defiant and intended to inflict hurt. Can't remember the exact words since really didn't care but it was snarky and vindictive. I did not react I just stayed true to what I said and said nothing more. Since then, she's tested me a couple of times by goading me into a fight or into saying something provocative. I've not fallen into the trap. smile maintained expressionless but confident silence. I also started doing some homework to get the process rolling. I think she knows I'm ready and willing to D and move on. I'm not making an ultimatum but giving her a boundary for how she threatens me and also letting her know that I'm finished with living in the shadow of the OM and their behaviors. The A is their problem, not mine
I agree with Surfer, that was some awesome DBing Roe! Surfer, I read your latest thread, and you are doing great too.
You are both getting so emotionally hardy, detached, calm, strong. It's great to see.

I'm so glad to read this, but maybe it's time for you to see a lawyer Roe, just to learn your rights so you can protect yourself and your children if she does file.
I'm sorry your wife saw OM Friday night, but it seems like you had a great time anyway. What are your plans for the rest of the holiday?
Did you read SH's post to Surfer, and Surfer's summary? It is priceless advice. I'm going to read the chimp paradox too, S. Thanks
