Threats would not be a good idea at this stage of the game. |
But it's not a threat when it's the truth. Either you kill me or I kill you and I would rather my husband kill me. Or let a judge give me the death penalty. |

How business-like of him!
Honestly, the reason there are so many unhappy divorcees is that they make these decisions at the drop of a hat. They don't stop to think what the consequences are, for their finances, their kids, and most of all, their logistics. I would have been surprised he didn't take at least a month or two. But then, despite many downs (and a couple of ups), my husband and I are still married. We know what would happen if we decided to divorce. |
I think he wanted to buy himself a little time to make legal and financial arrangements before giving a definitive answer. |
Yikes. |
| He needs to give his coworker time to leave her husband. |
I hope you're joking. If not, that is wack, lady. |
| Being married is a very involved process. It's not easy to divorce and it certainly isn't without repercussions. It is perfectly reasonable of him to step back and exam what the choices mean for himself and his family. If you asked the question then you need to wait calmly for his response. If this came from him initially, then you can always decide you are the one who needs to decide if continuing in marriage is warranted. Either way, both of you need to reach a consensus after a long hard critique of your past together. |
This. Or he's waiting on someone else to let him know if they want to be with him. |
Or his mistress.... |
| He sounds organized and level headed, a younger better version of you will take him very quickly |
I'm the PP and the smart thing for OP's husband to do is talk to some lawyers and then say "let's stay married." I did that for years--kissed my NPD ex's ass and attempted to answer every one of her ultimatums, while I built my own case, fixed my finances, and got my legal case together. It also allowed me to start recording, which would have saved me if she had made any serious accusations of abuse. |
By Wednesday? |
Umm...... your priorities are out of whack. Human life ranks higher than marriage. Think about it. |
This. This is what is happening. |
