I know you are being sweet, but why are you buying her gifts? Shouldn't you be buying something for yourself??? I would agree that it seems like this is taking a toll on your wife, but she alone has the power to stop it. Have you ever asked her to just put it on hold for a year? I recently asked my husband that and was suprised that he did not say no. He said he'd think about it. Granted, he has not filed yet, but still, it might be possible especially if she is feeling like she may be having a change of heart but believes she can't go back or stop it. I don't know, Gabe but it might be worth a shot. The only thing she can say is no. M
