Nicola,
As for the D, I agree that getting it over and done with will be good for you. You will be done with teh stress of dividing up your family. You will not have to worry about H's money antics. And as for the M, it's just a piece of paper. It the two of you are meant to be together, the D won't get in the way of that.

I hate hearing when Hs bring the kids around OW. YUK. That pisses me off. My H talked about doing it and talked about doing overnights with OW, but it never came to that. Not sure how I would ahve handled it.

Now, onto dating. I think it's very smart to be alone for now. Why confuse your head with the mess of dating. Be comfortable alone and find happiness alone. Then when you do eventually meet someone, you will be in a good place with yourself.


Married 9 years
