Thank you, Gordie and OneArt. I have read that until your MLC WAW hits rock bottom or thinks you have really moved on, they will continue to believe that you will always be second fiddle. Are there specific actions or things you would do that show the WAW you are moving on? I also think at times the longer we are separated, which is now close to longer than we have been married, it will make it much harder for the WAW to think we can ever return to loving each other again/reconciling, so she gives up. WAW also never really told me why she wanted a divorce. The reason keeps changing and the last time we talked about this; a year ago, it was over a trivial matter. When she picks fights or pushes my buttons, is it MLC behavior to do this to try to justify leaving the marriage?
