I still challenge you to really examine what it is you are fighting against by pushing for a trial separation in advance of a divorce.

The way I understand it, she will be living alone and seeing OM. My guess is that she isn’t going to think any more fondly of you just because you are labeling the time apart as a trial separation.

So what EXACTLY are you fighting against?

You call Divorce a finality. Is it, in your mind? Does it have to be?
