I think speed dating would be fun! No pressure to keep a stranger occupied for an entire evening, plus you get to meet several people at once! But then I am a multi-tasker.
That's probably why the thought terrifies me. It takes me several minutes to get my bearings and carry on a convo with someone I just met. Being that you only have a few minutes with each person, I wouldn't even get warmed up.

I am doing fine. For practical purposes, nothing has changed. Well, I guess that's not totally true, but it feels that way. It's not like this is a tactic, expecting her to change.
I'm not sure I'd be up to speed dating, though it might be good for a laugh.
I think things are a little slower now with school in full swing, and the fall sports going. Single parents are busy folks!
Well, W got to the notary today, so I have the signed Acceptance of Service. So I'll take that in tomorrow. So, if I understand everything correctly, sixty days from tomorrow. I think that will be November 30, since that's a Monday.
I keep expecting some emotion, but it's not coming. I guess I've already gone through it.

Please Jeffy Poo...you have LIVED the emotion for the last how many years?
Do you feel a sense of comfort or relief? Or just nothing at all?
Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..

IMO, you've got it blocked. At some point it will hit you, something will trigger the flood. While you might think it's good not to be feeling anything I remember the words of a wise C long ago - you can't feel the happy if you shut down to block the sad.
Maybe someone has asked you this, but is there anything about your W that you miss since you are apart? Is your life better and you have more peace now?
VH, I am sorry that your M is ending. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you should or shouldn't stay M. Life rages on.
Live your life while you are still living. Riding the trail less traveled.

You may be right. Or not. I guess I won't know until it hits or not. I'm not really taking it as a good thing, but I am not taking it as a bad thing. Speaking of C, I haven't been in a while, perhaps that would be a good idea.

I really can't think of anything I miss. For real. The only things missing are stress, and eggshells. My life is better, and I am more at peace.

Life has a way of doing that. For me, I think it is time. For someone else, maybe not. I'm sorry, too, but I'm ready.

Hmmm, stress and eggshells! I won`t miss those either! In fact I suspect there must be a tsunami of relief rushing over you after leaving that stress behind.
I`m looking to you VH at how you`re handling all this and how well its running for you and the kids and I have to say its heartening to read how well you`re doing.
Living through the miserable stage of marriage(and yes, I know its only a stage with any possible kind of an outcome) is pretty much an energy sapper.
