Very interesting thoughts, Sandi. My W didn't think I'd let her go and she also thought I'd be happy to be her plan B while she worked through her stuff. I posted previously that our MC said W was shocked when I told her I'm letting her go during our final MC session. I am not going to file any paperwork, but I will keep talking about splitting finances etc to keep her thinking she has actually been dropped by me. I could be wrong, but I don't think she truly WANTS a D. I also think she wants to be "happy" and doesn't feel there are any other moves to make to accomplish that goal.
