Just a quick update. Today was the "deadline" he gave me to decide whether we were going to continue with the divorce through mediation or whether we'd have to go to court over some of the money issues (alimony, child support, etc.). Although things have been great between us for the past week and we've spent a lot of time together, I waited today for the other shoe to drop! Luckily (at least for the time being) he didn't even bring it up today. Instead he called me this morning and we chatted for a while and then he invited me to dinner at his apartment tonight (he has the boys on Tuesday nights anyway). So instead of this dreaded conversation, we had a fabulous evening together! Like I said, I'm still waiting for him to bring it up, but at least it wasn't on the forefront of his mind tonight. I guess that is all I can hope for right now--and we'll just keep pushing forward. We've also decided to go out for a "real" date next week, so that's pretty exciting as well! So at least for the time being, things are good. Thanks for all the words of encouragement and support through all of this. I'll keep you updated!
