There isn't much to say to that. You knew it was going to be a tough day. All I can say is that divorce is a piece of paper and this isn't over until you say it is.
I wish I had words of comfort for you... You're in my prayers.
I'm so sorry, Pickle. As someone who has filed for divorce myself (and am now still happily married), I can tell you that it's NOT over yet, so don't lose hope. Also, statistics show that 20% of divorced couples end up RE-MARRYING EACH OTHER, with most reporting that their marriages are better than they ever were before.
Time to work on YOU -- that's the way you have to look at this.
"I think you get into trouble when you drag in the MLC as a key caveat that obscures all the particulars. It's the particulars that matter: stressors, ego-integrity, and so on. I can't, for example, point to a wealth of recent logitudinal studies that support the actual existence of what you are calling a midlife crisis. I can, on the other hand, point to studies like Susan Krauss Whitbourne's and many others that directly contradict popular assumptions (popular among the general public, but not so much with research Psychologists) supporting the midlife crisis as common feathre of adult development. In fact, pshychologists commonly regard that diagnosis and model as 'not helpful'."

Okay, so what are you trying to say?

Sorry to hear that Pickle. Keep your head up. Things will be better for you soon enough... one way or the other.
