He leaves, I was the one who wanted to work to improve/save the marriage (that is, until I realized I no longer wanted the relationship either)...I have done the work to cope, process, survive and eventually truly begin to find myself and heal.
Here's my gripe. I am irritated that I am the one who had to (1) hire an attorney; (2)find him an attorney; (3)explain litigation to him at every turn; (4)get the separation agreement drafted and ultimately signed; (5) get the divorce complaint filed...
and now I am the one who has to deal with the pain of the name change...all those letters, calls and visits to change my name...the bank, SSA, passport, DMV, law license, credit cards, lease, the list goes on...ugh...
