Di,<P>I wish I could agree with you...<P>...the sad truth is that she wants to extend it...<BR>...and as she extends the legal process... she knows that it is costing me much more (financially) than her.<P>There hasn't been the slightest sign from her... in word... or action... or expression<BR>...that would indicate any <B>want</B> to save our marriage.<P>Just continued anger...<BR>...maybe because now she realizes the children may stay with me.<BR>...maybe because she was pressured by her attorney to do certain things.<BR>...maybe because she will have to answer to the "Social Security Admin."<P>Feet dragging... has always been her trait...<BR>...I knew that when we were dating... and married...<BR>...I didn't think of it as such a flaw<BR>...It's just one more sign to me... of how difficult her <I>new</I> relationship will be.<P>I have no doubt, her relationsip with the OM will fail... in time! Her A will last a bit beyond 2 years...<P>But...<BR>...after speaking with her first XH...<BR>...I see her unchanging "stubborness"...<BR>...as yet another life-long flaw... she will not escape.<P>I see a time when she will be "alone"...<BR>...but will still not want to return to me.<BR>...and sadly... it won't be in her "fog".<P>It's an acceptance I have come to.<P>I'm moving on with Plan B...<BR>...within the next 2 weeks.<P>Thanks for your concern...<BR>...your love is always appreciated...<BR>...it's what we all need to spread a little more!<P>
