I did it. I met with her this morning and I told her I am converting from a legal separation to a divorce. I told her this was going mean we have to sell the house. I said I was planning on filing the papers in the next week or two. This is what I want to do,
She said no, no, no -- she asked if I could please give her another chance, "you have to give me another chance". She said she would go to rehab. She cried. I cried.
And I told her, I am not going to change my mind. I said I will pray about it, but I came to this meeting with 100% certainty and I believe God will take care of both us.
It was awful. I feel very sorry for her, but I did it and perhaps the toughest part is over. Time will tell.
