When told your wife that you didn't want a divorce and walked out, what did she do?
I do not know ... I didn't stand there waiting for a reaction nor a reply. I simply stated what I did not want, I never lifted a pinkie to help her with the D process, if there was a mediation apt I arrived early, happy and treated it as a business meeting removing all emotions which honestly sent her for a loop several times .... as she was reeling with guilt there I was making small talk with the people in the lobby.
To this day I have not stood in the way of the D, but I have not helped push things along either, and financially, emotionally it would have probably been beneficial for me to do so but I will never allow her to use me as the 'out' ... My stance on this if she wants it she will have to do all the work ... I will comply but never agree and she knows this. I came to the realization that she would do as she would do but I would make it known this was not my idea, not what I wanted but would not stop her pursuit for happiness where ever she felt that would be.
