Go read my reply on my thread. I am going to read your stich again from the beginning and chime in tomorrow.
Here are a few points.
Are you sure you understand "Validation"?
Your wife sounds very manipulative, and much more overtly so. Be aware of this.
You need to consider what Sandi said, What do you actually want? How are you going to get it there?
Divorce takes time, there are several opportunities to stop it moving forward if you choose to, if she wants a D, she will get one, if you dont, you dont have to. Honestly, worry less about divorce, it will happen if it happens and its not the end all be all. (i cant believe i just said that and meant it, damn things do change)
