Jim I have read your sitch from the beginning, I came to this site around the same time as you. I would also find it hard to R at this point but my W just keeps prolonging the D for whatever reason. Anyway take your time, this will be a very difficult decision for you to make. I wish you well.
Nicole, bhappy, and everyone else, thanks for stopping by and offering your thoughts. I really appreciate it.
Bhappy, I am now starting to wonder if the prolonging the D was just a tactic to give her some time to think. Ours is literally days away from being done, and suddenly she wanted to have our talk before it became final. I don't know if that means anything, but maybe she felt the time pressure, and acted.
As far as the D goes, the draft QDRO has been approved, so I have an appointment tomorrow to sign it. It then goes to her, and her lawyer can file the settlement agreement and draft QDRO and we're done. Could be next week.
