So do I file jointly, or help her file by herself and act as the respondent? Either way, don't bring it up again until she does? That would be like I'm avoiding the conflict.


I would tell her that if she wants a D, you will sign the papers. She already knows you don't want it. This is just my opinion. Considering her mental health, I don't see how it saves the MR to refuse to cooperate with the paperwork. Let her go, and if she loves you.....she'll come back to you.

You say stop taking things so personally, yet here's W's shared FB post for today: "Apologies don't mean anything if you keep doing what you're sorry for"


Let me guess, she is addicted to FB. I bet she shares these type of sayings throughout each day. What if she meant to hit you smack in the face with it? Now what? Will it change anything?

I don't know what to do anymore. I was going to go rock climbing tonight to give W some space. Scratch that? And tomorrow morning is a men's group breakfast I normally go to a couple times a month. I could skip the breakfast and just take care of my son tomorrow morning. The partial hospitilization program starts tomorrow.


Well, I thought if she was having to stay in the hospital for depression or attempting suicide........it wasn't an ideal time to be GAL. But if she is on some type of out-patient program, I guess you could do whatever you planned. You did tell her you would keep son and/or make needed arrangements for him.

I thought she was still living in the house with you. You mentioned the separation, are you referring to in-house S?


It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
