Looking for support from other WAS's

[Flipper]

My W has filed and, yes, it throws a big wrench into things BUT it's only paper. Honestly, we see people get re-married (to each other) all the time.

Maybe it's mostly paper in your case, since there are 0 kids, maybe not much $ down the tubes, more hope for an R, etc. But just really get a sense of the pain and suffering here and then tell me if its just paper. Could you point us to the "whopping 14%" statistics?

F2b,

Your kind comment regarding my lack of children and resulting joyride of a divorce, is duly noted. I am losing a my home as probably are you. But rest assured that my pain is as real as yours. My divorce will be final in a couple months. You don't think I am in pain? The "it's just paper" remark was meant to point out that, even though the D may be final, that does not prevent a couple from reconciling later. The remark was meant to offer hope. If my comments came off as flippant, that was not my intent. I don't think that someone should be given odds, let alone "zero" odds, if a certain set of circumstances exist.

I disagree on that ONE point. I think there can be hope in any situation. Your other points were well taken. Often, there is no rush for someone to file for divorce and it would be great if the filing spouse could slow down...but that is their call.

As far as the uplifting, albeit dubious statistic, I will attempt to find it again and, if I do, I will post it for you. In the meantime, doubt away. Peace
