Talk about living in the ultimate limbo! Ugh! Three years ago if you had asked me, I would have said that the word "divorce" struck panic into the deepest recesses of my soul. Now, I can't wait until it's final. I despise the woman I married 23 years ago. I think that you either move backward or forward. Given my ample therapist background (ha!) I just don't believe staying "stuck" where you are is good for anyone; you, your kids and your STBXW. No closure, no moving forward, just suspended animation. Why has there been no forward progress by either of you? Divorce or reconcile, "Let's Get it Started in Here!"
