Perhaps it's just good old-fashioned gratitude, Frank.

Better late than never, I say.


Yeah, it's just weird how it comes up out of nowhere.

Another note. I still pay the health insurance for STBX, D14 and D18 because if I didn't they wouldn't have any. I am glad to do it.

Today, I sent STBX some forms to fill out to change the policy to a higher deductible and other mods to save money up front. It's a good deal since we don't get sick much and if we do, I end up with the deductible payment so she is not burdened.

Under 'marital status' she checked 'single'. Well, we're married still and that constitutes fraud. ANd in case you haven't been following the news, the insurance companies are cancelling policies because someone failed to say they had hurt their knee 10 years ago now they need knee surgery so they try to claim it is an 'existing condition'.

So, I texted STBX and said "When you check 'single' on applications that is fraud and if they catch it they can deny future coverage. I will do everything in my power to get you divorced before the end of October. Until then please stay within the law."

She replied "Ok". I sent her a 'thank you'.

All I have to do is get the financial statement done and she will be free. She just keeps doing these foolish things for whatever reason. She tells everyone she is divorced. I'm hurrying as best I can to get her divorced so I can be done with this cycle.
