The fate of your marriage is not going to be decided on whether and how quickly you do or don’t supply him with a copy of the marriage certificate.
You can’t change what he’s going to do.
His request for a photo or copy of it is a reasonable request 🤷♂️ What benefit would denying or delaying have?
If you’re genuinely busy and don’t have the time, then don’t do it and tell him why.
Otherwise, just send it 🤷♂️

And here he is again pressuring me in this "polite," passive aggressive way.
But is he REALLY being passive aggressive? I don’t think he is on this. The request was polite, reasonable. Passive aggressive would have been “since you won’t blah blah blah, I’m going to need a copy of the marriage certificate to give to my lawyer.”
What I would define as “passive aggressive” is deliberately withholding it or making it hard.
Sometimes it’s hard to see anything good or nice in someone that has hurt us so bad. I think it would be overwhelming if I were in your shoes, but objectively from the outside looking in it looks very different.
Good luck with whatever you decide. Definitely don’t decide in a hurry. Think on it for 24 hours.
Sorry you’re going through this Marching. It’s such a roller coaster.
