Hi cdubbs, it seems like things are moving VERY quickly towards D. You mentioned that you called to make plans for mediation, are you driving this or her? Typically the DB advice on this is DO NOT HELP. Let the WAS do all the work. If they ask you for some info, or to fill out papers or something then do it. But don't push things through yourself. Frequently if you can remove pressure from your WAS then the D they initially tried to rush through will sit on the shelf. If I understand correctly, it's only been 10 weeks since BD? That's not very long.

I still have hope for reconciling down the road. I want to use this time to really focus on myself. I've been doing a lot of reading and personal development which ha helped. I'm going back to school for my MBA in the fall. My wife did mention on a few separate occasions about the changes I have made and how she has noticed


Awesome! Sounds like you're doing quite well and have the right mindset. Just stick to it!

I haven't had the sky is falling panic in the past week for which I'm grateful. At times I almost feel an inner peace in re: to my situation.


That's good, but don't be surprised if you backslide from that, it's normal. There will be times you feel great and times you feel horrible. It's all part of the grieving process. Sounds like you are doing really well though!
