You had and continue to have the issue of talking to her way to much. Look how often you talk and look at what’s been resolved? Absolutely nothing. Your kids are adults, yes it’s going to suck for them, but at the end of the day, they aren’t little kids.
LH’s post about your potential STBXW doing this to ease her guilt and burden is spot on.
To me, her asking if she needs a lawyer is a signal things could be about to get nasty. If you to can do all of this without a lawyer that would be ideal, but in my opinion, she’ll use that as a tool to manipulate you, and you’ll use it as a too to keep constant contact with her. I think if you were actually divorce busting there would definitely be more merit to this to not having a lawyer idea, but you’re not and I think you’re playing with fire not having one.
So what can we do for you? What is your goal? Is it to fix your marriage or have a peaceful divorce?
