Sage,

Thank you for the compliment. It seems that DB is easier said than done. I find that it is easy to say GAL and quit perseverating on your WAS, but hard to do. The easiest thing about DB is changing the things you didn't like about yourself and staying happy. In that respect I feel like a sucessful DBer

So, in the midst of your "non-DB'ing" may I ask why her reply back to you didn't give you pause?





It gave me pause. I didn't know what to say if anything. Thanks for not being in a hurry?

I truly believe in my heart that there is a big part of my wife that doesn't want this. I feel that given time we could actually work things out. My problem is in trying to understand what obstacles stand in our way. My speculation is that at this point she is looking at the difficulties in melding two families into one and feels problems are insurmountable. She hasn't actually expressed this so I can't be sure. She also probably has a hard time trusting that the changes will be lasting....understandable. I also wonder if now that she has her sights set on this new career path whether she feels it would be most easy and fair to be divorced first. Maybe she's afraid marriage to me would prevent her from chasing her dream. I don't know...just speculation. All I can do at this point is watch and wait.

Thanks as always. What if she brings the papers by? Should I just sign them? I'm guessing so. I haven't even retained counsel.
