How long have you been separated?

[ClingingToHope]

Seven months for me. With two kids, I have to interact with W a lot, although I've worked hard at figuring out ways not to have to see her.

I worked so much this summer that I actually was behind on my GALing. These last six weeks I've gone out so much that I was wearing myself out.

Now I'm back to working two jobs to pay down debt.

Two years ... I don't want to think about that. I thought by six months something would be shaking. But I realized today she's no closer to having the money to file than the day she asked me to leave, but she still isn't turning back to me.

Dottie, my DB counselor, warned me after hearing my story that it's going to take 18 months to two years for the fog to lift -- if it does.

I don't know if I can wait that long. Patience has never been one of my virtues. I'll have my L retainer saved up by February and then I'll have some decisions to make.

Have you had any opportunities to start seeing someone else?
