Like you, sophene, I used to jump quickly to solutions, and talking and fixing. It has been a tough road to retrain myself but slowly I have...I recommend the 'do nothing' for an hour/a day/a week principle along with the STFU smoothie used by others here and the constant mantra 'I don't know'.

You said your H wants to 'extend' the divorce process? What does that mean? What is the impact of that on you and your kids? What do you want?

PS You're not a failure as a wife, or anything else. You've made some mistakes or not done some things the way you wish you had. Doesn't make you a failure, just comes along with being a human and all that x
