When my H informed me that he wanted a divorce we started right away saying we wanted to be able to dance together at our daughter's wedding and have all our family and friends feel comfortable. I think it's difficult to even imagine that while you are in "limbo land". Six months ago I said it, but I didn't really believe it was possible. Now I believe it! We have seen too many ugly divorces and we don't want that!

I had a little view of that at Christmas at my nephew's house. My sister (his mother) was there with her boyfried. His dad (my sister's x) was there with his new wife. My nephew's x was there with her finance and parents. My parents were there. I actually said all we needed to round things out was my STBXH!). By the way, we all were having a wonderful time!!! Of course, my sister was divorced over 20 years ago so they have had time to work on this!!!)
