You're right. She doesn't get it. You don't want friends. You have those. You wanted her as a spouse FOREVER. It's funny, it seems like the court almost considers you a criminal. It's dememaning and humiliating. You are not punishing her, you're doing the healthy thing..trying to move on with the hope of finding love and companionship when you process this whole ordeal. The devasation that divorce wreaks on huma beings is, to me at least, unfathomable, especially when kids are concerned. It sounds like you're doing about as wewll as anyone in moving on. She expects it to be like the title of the idiotic book "The Good Divorce". Hang in there.
