Hoping this can be saved, but having doubts 3

[reframe]

Meeting with the wife at 5:15 today to have "the talk" and tell her I think we should move forward with D. Hoping we can be co-petitioners and do everthing amicably.

I think this is the right decision, both because of the state of our relationship, and because I don't want to be financially tied to her poor decisions.

I'm still not thrilled though. Both very sad, and not looking forward to (probably) hurting someone that I still care about, despite everything.

A work friend did say "Your marriage is pretty well dead. If you have something in the future, it'll be something new. The D now won't change that".

Trying hard to hold onto that today.
