Scout, you’re right on this. He knows to his core that I’m not going to be the one to file.

On your question... last time, I set a six week deadline for him to make up his mind (after I learned it was more than an EA) and we went to discernment counseling. I don’t really feel up to another six weeks of this $hit. I guess I need to plan this out too. What do I want, how long will I live like this, how can I work through telling people and starting the whole process of S. (I’m reading the posts you shared from chump lady.... wow. )

I’m overwhelmed again with anger and frustration. I need to figure out how to focus on what I can control.
