I'm not sure what I can add here, but I thank you for your posts. They fit my situation too, to a large degree. I don't snoop, and have no idea if OM is in the picture, or was. But your point about limboland is so true. W said she wanted a D in December, but aside from a few general emails about settlement in Jan/Feb. nothing. We haven't seen each other in five months, and only exchange one/two sentence emails about dogs, and recently about taxes. So, here we both sit. Neither of us eager to talk about D. Each of us will have the legal right to do so come end of May, but I will be out of the country from mid-May until July, so I can't do it. She hasn't talked about it even though I agreed to the D in December. So, she could file right now based on what I told her then. Is this strange, or fairly "normal" if I dare use that word?
