Laugh as loud as you can, then look her dead in the eyes "That is the funniest thing I have heard in a long time!" Smile , pause "Do you have any other good jokes?"
I seriously typed out almost the same thing and then deleted it and revised it to the above post, LOL! But yes, it would be very tempting to respond like this

Is this WW getting more desperate at this point? Do WW's act like this when things are not going their way? Is this the "It gets worse before it gets better" part?
I'm not sure "desperate" is the right word, but yes this is the kind of "extreme" things a WAS will say to get their way. You were paving her way down easy street by pursuing the D on your own, doing the heavy lifting for her. Now you've put it back in her court and she doesn't like it. She doesn't want to stay married, but she doesn't want to be bothered with actually having to do some work to make it happen. Plus she would LOVE to be able to tell everyone that YOU were the one that pushed D through to help her save face. So where she's coming from is perhaps a nice little threat will be enough to coerce you into jumping back on the D bandwagon. If you don't respond favorably she may very well threaten something worse, like "I guess I'll just go hire a lawyer" or "we'll see what the court has to say when I tell them how abusive you are." Just depends on how vindictive she is. At the extreme she may very well go nuts having unprotected sex just to get pregnant and "teach you a lesson". Let's hope not but honestly I've heard just about everything here including that.
