Sorry, I just have to start another thread.

I just posted a thread earlier today regarding WH being upset that I was being nice to him after he left me.

Now, the update is that he told me he wanted a divorce. I asked him if there was OW and of course he still denies that there is - I have no proof that there is, but now I have to believe that there is as he is making this drastic move.

Should I continue in Plan A even though he has announced that he wants a divorce?

He said this is the time to get a divorce as we could get back together in the future and start fresh.

He actually said we could date after the divorce and become friends.

What should I do? I told him that I prefer that our marriage work (and I sincerely hold out hope for reconciliation some day), but that if this is what he wanted, I would not try to argue with him. He was shocked.

I need advice - should I hang in there? I told him I would not participate in the filing of the divorce - as I want him to consider reconciliation.

Yes I would hang in there. I believe it is common for the WS to say they want a divorce in the beginning, but that doesn't mean that is what will happen. There are plenty of stories here of couples reconciling after the papers were filed and even more stories of the papers never getting filed after talk of D.
