Reminder that "validation": is not saying "you are right", it is saying "I hear you". Review AnotherStander's posts on validation-- he explains it really well. There's a fine line and you can easily come across in a manner that is not helpful to the dynamic between the two of you.
Sounds like you are moving forward, though! Hang in there..
I am moving forward. There is no need to panic. I have had 6 months to prepare for this coming and all the betrayals make it clear that she is off her rocker. I have gathered information for my lawyer so he will have information to help him with preparing my papers.
As for validating I try to do that to some degree. Last night she just went on and on that I seemed happy that we are going through with this. I told her I do not want a divorce but I can't force her to love me or force her to change. I will be fine with or without you.
