I'm about six weeks into this and after about five weeks of trying the MC route and my W acting like a teenager, I decided to go to mediation and move ahead with the divorce. She said she doesn't love me more time than I can count and he's truly out of her mind right now so I need to move on and focus on being the best Dad I can be as well as being a better version of myself.
Since agreeing with my W on the divorce, she's tried to suck me into the friendzone. I told her that maybe somewhere in the future we could have a relationship but right now, she's crazy if she believes that I'm going to help her divorce me or that we're going to be friends. To show you how crazy a MLCer is, last night I was preparing dinner and my wife asked me if she could help. Now understand that she hasn't helped me make dinner once in 15 years. She usually planted her ass on the couch and came in when it was ready (I know, to let that go on is nuts). I accepted her help (mistake) and asked her why now was she helping after NEVER wanting to help. Of course she didn't have a answer. As I sat on the couch with her after dinner, I realized that she was sensing the distance that detachment was causing and she was trying to keep me close. As good as that feels, to feel wanted, I knew I had to get up and leave her alone. She doesn't deserve my friendship as much as I'd like to give it to her.
Am I right to assume that this kind of behavior will occur more frequently as I begin to push her to leave?
