My plan if we get D is to move away from the city that we currently live in. I really love my life and my home there, and have started to build a small network, but we've only lived there 2.5 years, and I don't think I'd be happy there if we weren't married. I moved there for her job; I work remotely and will probably just put my stuff in storage and go on an adventure somewhere - maybe live in a different country for a month or two. W says that she wants to buy me out of the house, and I believe that would be the best for both of us.

So, my current plan is to come back in 3.5 weeks, stay for 1 week, leave for Asia for 2.5 weeks (tickets bought months ago), and then return home. I did say that I would move after that if W wanted me to, but you're right, I was definitely under duress when I said it, and I need to make that decision for myself. If W hasn't filed for D, it sounds like the best move would be to stay.

I've ordered Divorce Remedy and it will be here on Tues or Wed - I can't wait to dive in and keep learning.

In the meantime, W texted me to check on me. I replied that I'm good after 30 mins, W immediately replied with a very lengthy response about her day. I think a 180 would be for me not to reply.

I really appreciate the support.
