I really felt that I needed to go ahead and do the total separation, because WAW seemed to think that I was going to continue to be her best friend indefinitely. She actually asked me last week, "Do you think that you and I could still take D to Disneyworld together, for her sake, after our divorce?" What a question!
Not seeing or talking to me will definitely take a toll on her, because her parents and sister are so upset that they have also just about stopped talking to her. Her friends have told her that the decisions she is making are stupid. Finally, she's already broke and that situation is only going to get worse by "temporarily" supporting OM.
So, yes, if her relationship with OM can handle all that strain for more than a few weeks, I'll be stunned.
In any case, I have the luxury of not having to worry about her getting a D anytime soon (since by law she can't have one for two years unless I want it). I can take bigger risks than I would if I had to worry about her filing tomorrow.
The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." (Psalm 145:18)
