Foxpop, your H and mine are reading the same script at the moment. Claim you want the divorce and then do whatever possible to stall while simultaneously blaming the other party. Looks like you aren't making the mistake I have at several times, thinking his ambivalence somehow related to feelings for me. Nope, all about him and that MLC fear of making any decision at any time. I think they do convince themselves we are the holdup. At least for mine, I used to do everything for him. Now that I'm not, I can see how he would think it is me. Of course when I try that, I'm just controlling and he disappears because he doesn't have to do things my way. My guess, if you want the divorce you will have to push it through as your solicitor suggests. I will be doing the same as soon as my son, who struggles emotionally, is in the clear from any forced visitation without limits.
