At the urging of my boss, I contacted a lawyer to start to prepare myself for whatever legal stuff comes down the pipe from wifes 3/6 appt.
Last night she seemed concerned about this stuff and asked, "Well, what do they do when one person want's the other to leave and he doesn't?" I assured her that I wasn't going to try to fight her on anything I was just waiting to see what she did.
I hate that this has become a legal thing, I guess my wife feels like she needs advocacy in the separation, but it just feels like a snowball, the more people she tells and gets involved, the harder it is for her to step back and think about things.
I'm really just going to have to roll with this one as best I can.
I sent her a message telling her about my appt and emphasizing that I scheduled it so that we could act as quickly as possible on her plans. She called to check in on how I was doing and I just about lost it, but ended the conversation with, "I don't need anything and I'll be o.k.".
This is a very important day as I am interviewing applicants to our graduate program all day and have a reception this evening. I had always complained that my wife turned up the heat on me at the worst possible times, and I'm living this right now. I'm starting to think that, a some level, she really is trying to hurt me, or get me back, or whatever. I just don't know anymore.
