Hmmm.. no contact 5 days. She asks to talk to me when I'm on the phone with kids. Ok, sure. Digging on when and if I will take kids. Not now, after she contacted my lawyer with ridiculous terms I wont sign to. Desperation in her voice over taking the kids on the weekend, she really wants me to take them. Lies about having to file 250 pages to divorce me. Lies about why she wants my pay stubs. Obviously to figure out potential childcare payments. I asked and she gave vague response that it was for divorce. So much lying, desperation, and misdirection.
My tone was upbeat, helpful, but purely business. I ended it with a non-chalant "talk to you later" which took her by surprise. No more clingy me. I have myself back, at least in that moment.
Met my lawyer. Filing divorce complaint for joint custody on the insistence of my lawyer. We will see how that goes.
I don't think my wife expected me to stand up for myself. No more listening to her bull. She has been lying and deceiving me for months now.
Considering a private investigator..just to know for sure...but part of me just wants to laugh and say who cares.
