That is the way I am leaning as well. I have no doubt that he told people that HE was the one who wanted out, but I don't believe it. Her having a strong social circle and emotional support system, trying to earn her own money (no matter how I feel about MLMs I still give her props for trying), being seemingly organized and ambitious, and setting the groundwork with NUA to "be there" for her? Yes, I think she knew a separation was coming and was perhaps going to initiate it. Some have claimed that it would have ruined her whole happy life narrative on SM. She still fould have given it a positive spin: "Without Thrive, I never would have had the money and strength to leave my marriage", etc.
