Tonight I sat her down and said the following: “This isn’t working for me anymore. I would have preferred to work things out, but I realize that’s not what you want. I respect myself too much to continue waiting for someone that doesn’t want to be with me. I have decided to move forward with my life. Hopefully we can come to an agreement on custody and finances and make this process as simple as possible.” I then handed her the asset list.
Curtis, I'm not clear on what exactly you were telling her above, are you telling her that you are proceeding with divorce? Or just that you are done waiting? I'm surprised she didn't ask you what you mean, because that's not clear. What does "move forward with your life" mean to you?
