Frustrated_Guy,
I think you are grossly mistaken.
Obviously, your wife don't think you love her enough.
And she is looking for signs that you actually do.
Here's how some woman think.
During a disagreement, he loves her to give in to her.
After a fight, he loves her to chase her back.
After an ultimatum, he loves her to hold her back.
Like I mentioned before, she don't need you to send her the
separation papers. If she wants to divorce, she can do it
herself.
She thinks you value the marriage enough not to want to let it
go.
This is how she reassures herself that you DO want to be with
her.
If you want it to stop, the next time she uses divorce tell her "
I'll wait for you to send me the separation papers."
This way, you pass the ball back to her, and let her decide how she
wants to play this game.
