I know that he can still D me...I had just told him I would not help him with the process...but now I am gathering documents to most likely file myself or at least engage if he serves me first. Of course he is one of the MLCers that said "let's do this amicably and be best friends after". As I wanted to attempt reconciliation, I didn't want to make the D easy for him...but now that he's doing even more strange things with the financials, I feel I have no choice but to move forward with D. He had said he'd be open to this agreement when I confronted him about the money he took from our shared investment account, but I'm not sure he will stick with his response...get it notarized etc. But either way, my L has discussed my options and I will do what I can to get what is fair. Truth is, he doesn't deal with stress well, so I'll probably have the bandwidth and grit to get through the process more than he will.
