I know that a separation is not a D, but I really think that H feels he has no choice but to D.
I am hoping that H goes along with a separation, but I don't know what that entails since H wants something legally binding. At least I don't think we would have to split assets right away and I think the kids would feel better about a S as opposed to a D. Who knows???
I have had no contact with H today and won't unless he initiates it or it involves the kids. This is so hard!!
