Thanks ERC and Mike. I made an appointment for a consultation with a local attorney but it isn't for 3 weeks. I waited 8 months what's another 3 weeks. I might call a couple more attorneys and see about getting another consult.

I guess this marriage could be over fairly quickly if my H just goes along with it. It could be a very simple D. I will have everything in line before I go for the consult. If anyone has any advice on what questions to ask or what to have ready, please let me know.

On a side note, I think that I am going to brave the world tomorrow. I have been sort of hiding out since all of this started. We live in a small town and I think my sitch was big news at one point. Why wouldn't it be, this story is so crazy it doesn't even seem real to me and it is my life...It was so nice of my H to cheat on me, leave me for OW, and then run away so I am hear all by myself to pick of the pieces of my broken heart, broken life, and face everyone while he is starting his "great" new life. I am going to go to a 4th of July party and I will probably know quite a few people there. I have to get out there sometime, what better day to do it than Independence Day. Hopefully, I have a good time.
