Apropos of nothing:

I have a friend who I haven't talked to in a couple of years. She called me up about the time that this all started for me, and we've kept in touch for the past couple of months.

She is in the process of getting divorced from her husband. She cites changing priorities in their lives (when they got married, neither of them wanted kids; now she does, but he doesn't), lack of motivation on her husband's part (he's been out of work off and on constantly throughout their marriage) and, finally, the re-appearance of an old flame in her life.

Yeah, she had an affair, and yeah, she's leaving her husband for the other man. I'm not happy about how she went about busting up her marriage. (Neither is she, but she sees no way out at this point.)

Anyway, to make a long story short, she's in court today to get the final ruling on her divorce decree; as of today, she will be divorced.

So I'm sending her my most positive thoughts and prayers. I hope that she figures out what she really wants in her life, whether it's with her STBXH or the other man.
