JM, Avoiding writing for work, so I'll chime in. In a way, the marriage license or your divorce papers are just that -- paper. Just because you get divorced, doesn't mean you can't eventually reconcile. Besides, in your W's mind, your M is over.
FYI, I tracked down Just_Me's thread about a month ago. He did get divorced and remarried. So he's coming from been there, done that.
