Do you think that by still not being divorced from your wife you can't move forward with your life. You're legally married, but stuck in neutral. Although I know that my divorce is moving forward, I'm still stuck in neutral about really moving on with my life. It's a mental millstone around my neck. Until, you move out of the current stalemate, I think you might be in this continuous feedback loop regarding really moving on. Just my 2 scheckles.............PS. I'll be 54 (physically) in September. There's nothing that would have been nicer than seeing my two kids off to college as an intact family, headed toward my 25th anniversary, but that's just....well whatis!
