yes it's entirely typical. My H (gone over 18 months) professes great adoration for our kids yet has barely seen them once a week and only had them over to his place (his top secret place, again soooo common) a handful of times, he sees me more often than them. They like to pretend that it's Only You that they have a problem with, but in reality they cannot cope with any family except in tiny doses. Oh and my H has been saying since September 2018 that he wants a D. He has not done anything about it that has involved me yet (I'm sure he has taken legal advice). So don't hold your breath on him actually doing anything, it seems all too common that whilst they are busy telling you that you are a horrible person they don't want to be married to that they don't actually move forward on getting a D. Funny that. When people on here say that it's usually the LBS who moves forward with D, I can see that it's true. Oh, and H left behind about 2 wardrobes full of clothes. Buying a whole new wardrobe is not uncommon, but god forbid you should chuck any of their old stuff out
