- I am planning to let him know that I have let go. Well emotionally not really but I have no choice so I am at the Last resort beyond LRT phase.
He fears people will think he is abandoning his family so he wants the mediation agreement done before he leaves home so he will be able to say this was an amicably reached settlement due to incompatibility.
On the first one above. You have to show him you let go, not just say it. Arsh, this is going to be hard but you have to try to be emotionless. Step away if you start to become emotional and then come back when composed. Words have no meaning and he will see right through it if it isn't the truth.
On the second, do not protect him from this. He IS abandoning his family. If he cannot live with that fact then maybe she should be making a different choice. Do not appease him, tell him that when people ask you will tell them that you were opposed to the D but that he insisted, and left. Protecting someone from the consequences of their actions does nothing for that person.
