Think you're right. I get the impression W wants the Mediated separation to go ahead and be done ASAP, the NMO is a means of manipulating me to 'toe the line'. Plus, it turns the tables and makes me look like the bad guy to her family/friends. Think W is about to a reality check though, wrt how long mediated separation and selling the family home can take.
The witness statement backing up the NMO is ~90% fabrication; some truthful elements in there but they're mixed/merged/confused, no real evidence it really is her word against mine. No hint of the discovered EA that would explain my reaction(s) to her behaviour. I do believe there is more than one person whispering in W's ear about the MR & separation but I'm pretty sure W's eldest sister, a WPC & familiar with such court orders, is the one who made the suggestion about the NMO.
I feel I'm getting my reactions/temper under more control as I continue detaching; even afford myself a smile at some of my W's eccentricities of late.
